Abstract

We report a case of congenital abnormality of bicornuate bicollis uterus in a patient who developed FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) stage IIB invasive carcinoma of the cervix in 2006. She was managed with radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy using an external photon beam of 50 Gy in 25 fractions and a weekly infusion of cisplatin, followed by low dose rate intracavity brachytherapy of 18 Gy to Manchester point A over two fractions. Intra-uterine afterloading brachytherapy catheters were inserted into both uterine cavities. Treatment was well tolerated with manageable acute toxicities. Complete response was achieved with therapy. The patient remains well on follow up with no clinical evidence of disease recurrence two years after initial treatment.
