Clitoral metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix on F-FDG PET/CT and MRI.

Metastasis to the clitoris is extremely rare. Here, we report a highly unusual case of high-grade squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix metastasizing to the clitoris a year following surgery and chemoradiotherapy. The patient presented with a painless clitoral mass identified through physical examination. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a diffusely enhancing clitoral mass with hyperintense signals on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and fluid-sensitive T2-weighted (T2W) sequences. This malignant tumor was detected by fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) due to its high FDG uptake. Pathological examination confirmed clitoral metastasis. Clitoral metastasis, although exceedingly rare, should be considered in cervical cancer patients presenting with clitoral masses on physical examination and imaging, particularly in those with advanced stages. Our case report is unique because it represents a recurrence in a patient initially diagnosed with early-stage cancer.
