Article Synopsis
- Lymph node recurrence in stage IA1 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the cervix without lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) is rare, but two cases of extraregional lymph node recurrence were reported after initial surgery.
- Both patients underwent hysterectomy, with recurrence detected through imaging or symptoms, confirming the potential for late recurrence despite initially low-risk diagnoses.
- These cases highlight the need for oncologists to remain vigilant for recurrence even in asymptomatic patients, suggesting serum SCC antigen testing as a valuable tool for early detection.
