We are reporting a case of occult breast cancer (OBC) diagnosed via biopsy of an asymptomatic cervical mass. While non‐OBC has occasionally been reported as metastatic to the uterine cervix, OBC never has, to our knowledge. Awareness of this presentation can be beneficial for a more expedite diagnosis and treatment.
