Descriptive note on precision surgery for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and its metastasis

The patient was diagnosed with cervical squamous cell carcinoma with tibia metastasis following further examination, despite a lack of gynaecological symptoms. In contrast to the poor outcome commonly observed in patients with bone metastasis, the patient survived and remained diseasefree 41 months after surgical excision of the metastatic tumour and radical hysterectomy followed by chemo radiotherapy. The present case is one of the few documented cases of metastasis to the tibia arising from carcinoma of the uterine cervix and may be the first regarding isolated metastasis at this site.
