ABSTRACT:
Metastatic lesions of clivus are rare, usually from prostatic and renal carcinoma. Carcinoma of cervix metastasing to
clivus is reported rarely after treatment of primary tumor. But clival metastatic lesion at presentation is reported only once in
literature. Our patient a 61 year old female patient who presented with clival lesion later diagnosed to be a metastatic lesion from
primary cervical carcinoma is rarely reported in literature.
KEYWORDS:
Clivus, Clival metastases, carcinoma cervix.
