Leptomeningeal spread of advanced squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the uterine cervix is unusual. To our knowledge, very few cases were reported in the English literature. We report a case of a 39‐yr‐old woman who presented with leptomeningeal metastasis from a stage IIb SCC of uterine cervix. The diagnosis was made by cytomorphological examination of smears obtained from cerebrospinal fluid. The cytomorphological features are demonstrated. Diagn.
