Abstract
Cervical cancer is the second most common gynecological malignancy in Indian women. It usually spreads locally or via regional lymphatic to retroperitoneal lymph nodes and hematogenous spread is rare. The occurrence of distant bony metastasis is a very rare event and only a few cases have been reported in literature. We present an unusual case of carcinoma cervix in a patient that presented with proximal ulna metastasis 7 months after treatment.
