Metastatic malignant lesions of the eyelids are less than 1% of all eyelid tumors. Eyelid metastasis from the cervix, particularly the first sign of metastasis, has not been reported. A female presented to an ophthalmologist with a gradually increasing mass on the lateral edge of the lower eyelid for 2 months and was diagnosed with stage IB1 cervical cancer 3 years ago. We performed wide local excision of the eyelid mass. The mass was histologically and immunohistochemically similar to cervical cancer. Upon metastatic examination, no lesions involving other sites or lymph nodes were found. Subsequently, local radiation therapy yielded the desired results. In the present case, the possibility of metastasis from the cervix was not considered for the first time. More attention should be paid when identifying unexplained masses in patients with a history of malignant tumors.
