Description
Summary: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. 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. 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.
