ABSTRACT
Seventeen of 620 patients (2.7%) of cancer cervix were diagnosed to have bone metastasis (BM). In three bone metastasis were seen at initial presentation; remaining 14 developed BM in 3 to 36 months after the diagnosis of cancer cervix. Backache (8), localised pain (8), in thigh/hip/neck paraparesis (1) were main symptoms. The duration of symptoms ranged from 1 to 4 (median 2.5) months. Lumber spine, pelvic bones and long bones were the commonest site of involvement. The lesions were single in 12 and at multiple sites in five patients. Radiologically the lesions were osteolytic in all except three where Tc99m bone scan showed increased uptake of radionuclide. Palliative radiotherapy resulted in significant symptomatic relief.
