Mesonephric adenocarcinoma of the cervix: a case report and review of the literature

O W Stephanie Yap et al. Gynecol Oncol. 2006 Dec.

Abstract

Background: Malignant mesonephric tumor arising in the uterine cervix is an exceedingly uncommon variant of cervical adenocarcinoma with only 30 well-documented cases in the literature.

Case: We present a case of a 54-year-old woman with postmenopausal vaginal bleeding who was found to have a stage IB mesonephric adenocarcinoma of the cervix.

Conclusion: At present there is no consensus on a standardized treatment protocol for malignant mesonephric tumors of the cervix. The present case suggests that a favorable outcome may be achieved for patients with stage IB tumors with aggressive initial therapy.
