Abstract |
Metastasis to the skin from cervical carcinoma is relatively uncommon. Herein we present a 41-year-old woman with a history of cervical carcinoma with severe facial erythematous swelling and telangiectasia. She was initially treated for cellulitis without improvement.

As this is an unusual clinical presentation for the metastasis of cervical carcinoma, this case is reported.
