Introduction. Cervical cancer is one of the most frequent gynecological malignancies worldwide and 15%-61% will develop metastases. The most frequent distant sites of dissemination are the lungs, liver, para-aortic lymph nodes (PAN) and supraclavicular lymph nodes; unusual sites would be the brain, heart, skin, thyroid, spleen or breasts. Clinical case. 50-year-old woman diagnosed with stage IVA squamous cell cervical cáncer that was treated with concurrent radiotherapy-chemotherapy and brachytherapy and who 3 months after the end of treatment presented a tumor mass in the left breast. Core biopsy reported an infiltrating ductal carcinoma classified as a second primary tumor. Lumpectomy was performed with an axillary lymph node dissection. After reviewing the histopathology, a poorly differentiated squamous metastatic carcinoma was confirmed in the breast and stage IVB cervical cancer was diagnosed. Results. The patient died 6 months after the appearance of the mammary nodule due to seizures. Neuroimaging studies for cerebral metastatic disease and possible microscopic meningeal tumor infiltration were negative. Discussion. Metastases characteristically are painless, mobile masses of hard consistency, without sensitivity, retraction of nipple or orange peel, in ultrasound they are round and well delimited and in mammography without microcalcifications or speculations. Conclusions. Metastases of the cervix in the mammary glands are uncommon and can lead to confusion in the staging of the primary tumor and in the treatment plan. They can also be related to the risk of dissemination in sites such as the central nervous system and indicate a poor prognosis
