Metastasis of gastric cancer to the uterine cervix is rare, and a case of m
etastasis to the uterine cervix from early gastric cancer has never before
been reported. We here present a patient who underwent a gastrectomy due to
asymptomatic early gastric cancer found by chance and who subsequently suf
fered from a solitary metastasis to the uterine cervix from the primary ear
ly gastric cancer. Similar to Krukenberg tumors of the ovary, lymphatic dis
semination is regarded as the route of metastasis from the stomach to the u
terine cervix. We surmise that the present metastasis occurred through the
lymphatic channel because lymph vessel permeations were found in both the p
rimary lesion of the stomach and the metastatic lesion of the uterine cervi
x.
