Description
Cervical cancer globally accounts for more than 250,000 deaths per year. Metastasis occurs through local extension and lymphatic dissemination. Ureteric metastasis is extremely rare and there are <10 cases reported in the English literature. We present an interesting case of ureteric metastasis arising from a primary cervical malignancy 5 years after initial treatment which highlights the role of careful history taking and examination in patients with previous malignancy.
