Abstract
Carcinoma cervix has been the most common cancer in women in India over the past two decades and most important cause of mortality among cancer affected women. Squamous cell carcinoma of cervix can involve the uterine corpus by direct extension or through parametrium by lymphatic invasion to the uterine wall. Superficial spread of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix to the endometrium without invasion of underlying myometrium is a rare phenomenon. We report here a case of invasive cervical squamous cell carcinoma in a 50 year old female with superficial extension to the endometrium and right sided fallopian tube.
