Carcinoma of the cervix complicated by a ruptured pelvic abscess

Arnaldo Acosta, Alan L. Kaplan, Warren Jacobs

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

A series of 5 cases of carcinoma of the cervix complicated by a ruptured pelvic abscess is presented and the literature reviewed. Staging is quite inaccurate in these patients. Treatment must be highly individualized and consists of a combination of operation and irradiation. Prognosis appears to be related primarily to the stage of the lesion rather than to the coexistence of severe adnexal infection.
