Sonographic Detection of Cervical Carcinoma with Metastases

Abstract

Cervical cancer is not considered to be a highly prevalent carcinoma, as there are more cases of pre-cancer detected than invasive cases. It is also on the decline due to the use of routine Papanicolaou (Pap) tests, and immunizations against Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) have also helped diminish the number of cases. A case is presented of a cervical mass with metastases into the bladder and hydronephrosis of the kidneys detected using computed tomography (CT) and further evaluated using sonography. These imaging modalities together were able to provide global visualization of the pathology, resulting in accurate diagnosis and plan for treatment.
