The patient underwent surgery in our hospital.Then the positron emission tomography-computed tomography of postoperation revealed cervical squamous cell carcinoma metastasis. Histopathology revealed the squamous carcinoma of the cervix.Moreover, the cardiac tumor reappeared after four postoperation months. The postoperative patients did not receive regular chemotherapy.
