Extragenital carcinoma metastatic to the cervix is uncommon. In such a case a complication not previously described occurred in association with pregnancy: gastrointestinal signet ring carcinoma metastatic to the cervix. The entity was initially detected on a histologic examination of cervical biopsy specimens and was confirmed with gastric endoscopic biopsies, thereby preventing an exploratory laparotomy. The patient declined palliative chemotherapy.
