Abstract
Cervical cancer, the second most common malignancy among Indian women, primarily arises from the transformation zone of the cervix. High-risk HPV types, especially 16 and 18, are implicated in approximately 70% of cases. The median age of diagnosis is around 50 years. Metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract is rare, occurring in less than 4% of cases, with small bowel involvement being extremely uncommon.
