Introduction: Isolated metastasis of cervical carcinoma to iliopsoas region might be infrequent and its occurrence is a diagnostic challenge. The aim of this study was to report a case of iliopsoas muscle metastasis from cervical carcinoma.
Case Presentation: A 52-year-old multiparous females complaining about post menopause bleeding was referred to the researcher’s oncology department. Gynecological examination revealed cervical mass with involved parameters and biopsy confirming squamous cell carcinoma. In addition, the patient had a large cystic mass on the lateral side of pelvic area and abdomen. Investigations detected solid ovarian mass associated with a rise of tumor marker CA-125 and CEA levels. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CT scan reports suggested possible hematoma in iliopsoas muscle. Imaging-guided biopsy detected metastatic squamous cell carcinoma in iliopsoas muscle mass. Based on diagnosis of advance stage cervical cancer, the patient received chemotherapy following adjuvant radiation therapy.
Conclusions: Metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix to iliopsoas muscle is considered as a rare event. It is recommended to keep this unusual manifestation in mind.

Introduction: Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) following molar pregnancy is a rare condition. The present study aimed at reporting a case of uterine arteriovenous malformation after molar pregnancy.
Case Presentation: A 38-year-old woman with repeated heavy vaginal bleeding was referred to oncology department of Ghaem hospital affiliated to Mashhad University of Medical Sciences in 2016. She had history of evacuation curettage of molar pregnancy in the previous month. Examinations revealed AVM in fundus of uterus; and the patients was asymptomatic after embolization of the AVM and she is now under serial follow-up.
Conclusions: The diagnosis of AVM should be considered when an unexplained massive hemorrhage occurs after gestational trophoblastic disease. In the case of correct diagnosis, unnecessary surgery is avoided.
