RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Mesonephric adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix and literature review JF BMJ Case Reports FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd SP bcr0120125632 DO 10.1136/bcr.01.2012.5632 VO 2012 A1 Anagnostopoulos, Antonios A1 Ruthven, Stuart A1 Kingston, Robert YR 2012 UL http://casereports.bmj.com/content/2012/bcr.01.2012.5632.abstract AB Mesonephric adenocarcinoma is a rare type of cervical cancer that derives from mesonephric remnants in the uterine cervix. To the best of our knowledge, this is the 34th case of mesonephric adenocarcinoma in adult women documented in the literature. We present an asymptomatic 64-year-old postmenopausal woman presenting with a suspicious-looking cervix as an incidental finding and diagnosed with a stage IB mesonephric adenocarcinoma of the cervix. This case was managed with radical hysterectomy, bilateral salpingoophorectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy. The rarity of such cases imposes challenges on the management in terms of diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic options.
