A Case of Villoglandular Papillary Adenocarcinoma of the Uterine Cervix Diagnosed during Early Pregnancy Followed by Successful Term Delivery

Abstract EN

Villoglandular papillary adenocarcinoma (VPA) is a very rare subtype of adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix, but a well-recognized variant of cervical adenocarcinoma with a favorable prognosis and generally occurring in women of child-bearing age.

Only five cases of VPA and pregnancy have been reported.

Herein, we report a case of VPA diagnosed during early pregnancy and managed successfully with conservative measures; our patient delivered a healthy baby in full term.

A successful pregnancy can be completed in patients with VPA without lymph-vascular invasion, when treated conservatively.

This management is particularly desirable in young women to preserve reproductive capability.
