A Unique Finding of Hepatogastric Fistula in Cervical Cancer Liver Metastasis

In India, cervical cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality among females. Around one-third are expected to develop recurrence or metastasis during follow-up. Liver metastasis is rarely requiring palliative treatment. Patient compliance to strict follow-up is vital to detect ea...

description In India, cervical cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality among females. Around one-third are expected to develop recurrence or metastasis during follow-up. Liver metastasis is rarely requiring palliative treatment. Patient compliance to strict follow-up is vital to detect early metastasis to be able to improve survival. A 58-year-old lady (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics [FIGO] stage IIIB) was treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy. During follow-up, she had complained of abdominal pain for which cross-sectional imaging revealed a left lobe liver lesion fistulizing into the stomach. Liver metastasis fistulizing into the stomach is a rarity, and a biopsy is required to confirm metastasis or maybe a second primary. Although palliation in the form of chemotherapy is the standard, minor or major hepatectomy can be considered in patients with good performance status at high-volume centers. A tailored multidisciplinary team approach is required for better survival.
