N2  - Carcinoma cervix is the most common malignancy in Indian women. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of cervix with metastasis to duodenum is a rare occurrence. Until now, we could find only six cases in the literature. We found such rare case and hence report here a case of a 67-year-old female patient with carcinoma cervix with duodenal metastasis diagnosed after 4 years of cervical carcinoma. On gastroduodenoscopy thickened mucosal folds were seen in the second and third part of the duodenum. Histopathology confirmed it as metastatic SCC. She was started on palliative chemotherapy but succumbed to the disease. This case is being reported due to its rare occurrence.
