Abstract

Scar site recurrence is a rare phenomenon and is more uncommon in squamous cell carcinoma. We present a special case of scar site recurrence in a 40-year-old patient with carcinoma cervix detected on MRI abdomen and pelvis, 5 months after Wertheim’s hysterectomy. The prognosis is bad in these patients, as they also present with distant organ metastasis.
