ABSTRACT
It is very rare for an exocervical adenocarcinoma to metastasize to the lung parenchyma and pleura. A 54-year-old woman was admitted with dyspnea and left pleural effusion on chest X-ray. She had a history of exocervical adenocarcinoma 3 years previously and was treated with hysterectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Last year, she was diagnosed with a left vestibular schwannoma and underwent subtotal mass removal surgery. After admission, metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pleura was diagnosed by video-assisted thoracic surgery biopsy. We herein report the rare case of exocervical adenocarcinoma that presented as a metastatic lesion to the pleura 3 years after the initial diagnosis.
