Three cases of breast cancer that metastasized to the uterine cervix are presented. A review of the literature disclosed 21 additional cases. Seventy‐five percent of the patients presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding, 62% had no gross evidence of malignancy on examination, and in 89% the cervical metastases were a manifestation of widespread disease.
