Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the uterine cervix
2005
Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the uterine cervix is a rare and peculiar variant of adenocarcinoma. This tumor represents 3% of all primary cervical adenocarcinomas, and it is locally aggressive and capable of metastasis to other organs even in its early stage. We report a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma stage IIIb that was successfully treated with radiotherapy. The patient shows no evidence of recurrent tumor at 5 years after radiotherapy. Generally, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are chosen as the first treatment, because this cancer is seen most commonly in the elderly.
