Cervical cancer is the most common malignancy in Indian women. Cervical cancer usually spread by local extension and through the lymphatics to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Direct invasion of muscles by primary growth is more common than by metastatic involvement. We present a case of carcinoma of the cervix post radiotherapy to pelvis who on follow up presented with biceps muscle metastases as the initial sign of disseminated disease.
