Presentation Title:

An unusual presentation of villoglandular papillary adenocarcinoma in perimenopausal woman

Abstract

Villoglandular papillary adenocarcinoma (VPA) or villoglandular adenocarcinoma (VGA) is a rare but well-recognized subtype of cervical carcinoma. It exhibits a favorable prognosis, particularly within the childbearing age group, and is considered a rare manifestation of mucinous adenocarcinoma typically observed in individuals of reproductive age. In comparison to other adenocarcinomas, VPA generally demonstrates a more optimistic prognosis. This report details the case of a 46-year-old perimenopausal woman who presented with complaints of irregular menses and a protruding mass from the vagina. Upon examination, an exophytic growth was identified, replacing the cervix. A biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of VPA. Subsequently, the patient underwent a radical hysterectomy, followed by post-operative radiation therapy.
