Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Cervix Implanting in the Episiotomy Site

The implantation of cervical cancer in an episiotomy scar is very rare. We present such a case in a patient with stage IIIB squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. The tumor implantation responded only partially to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Review of the literature revealed six cases of cervical...

Zusammenfassung:	The implantation of cervical cancer in an episiotomy scar is very rare. We present such a case in a patient with stage IIIB squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix.

All followed a normal vaginal delivery. Early initial stage, small-size implantation lesion, and early surgical intervention seemed to be good prognostic factors.
