Abstract
Background: Cervical squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most
common malignant tumors in the clinic. It can metastasize to the lung,
bone, and other organs. However, postoperative recurrence and metastasis
to the tricuspid valve are infrequent.
Case presentation: A
57-year-old female patient, which had an operation history of squamous
carcinoma of the cervix(SCC) one year ago, was admitted to the hospital
due to the cervical squamous cell carcinoma recurred and metastasized to
the tricuspid anterior and septum’ ventricular surface and the chordae
tendineae. The patient underwent surgery in our hospital.Then the
positron emission tomography-computed tomography of postoperation
revealed cervical squamous cell carcinoma metastasis. Histopathology
revealed the squamous carcinoma of the cervix.Moreover, the cardiac
tumor reappeared after four postoperation months. The postoperative
patients did not receive regular chemotherapy. The short-term effect on
the patients was not ideal.
Conclusion: To achieve better treatment results, the multi-mode
treatment strategy of surgery, medical treatment, and advanced diagnosis
has a significant impact on the survival of these patients.
