A SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA OF THE UTERINE CERVIX RECURRING IN THE FORM OF AN ISOLATED BLADDER METASTASIS: A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

Bladder cancer is the second most common urological cancer after prostate cancer, and bladder metastases are rare. We report the case of a 42-year-old female patient who underwent surgical treatment for cervical cancer 5 years ago and presented with a recurrence of her disease in the form of an isolated bladder tumor resembling primary bladder cancer. The diagnosis was confirmed by human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping performed on the biopsy sample of the bladder tumor. The patient was treated with chemotherapy similar to that used for cervical cancer, with a favorable clinical and biological response.
