Recurrent cervical cancer presented with lymphangitic carcinomatosis.

Lymphangitic carcinomatosis of the lungs secondary to cervical cancer is a rare condition. It still has an unknown pathophysiology and is related to high mortality rates. Diagnosis is often delayed due to the common symptoms of nonproductive cough and dyspnea. There are only 10 cases described in the literature. Most of the reported cases received only supportive care due to low performance status. Only three reported patients received palliative chemotherapy. We describe a case that has successfully received platinum-based chemotherapy.
