Why is it important?
This entity, often seen in young women, is generally associated with a better prognosis than other types of cervical adenocarcinoma. Nevertheless, due to its rarity, its diagnosis poses a challenge, requiring close correlation between clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical data.
Perspectives
Villo-glandular carcinoma of the cervix is a rare variant of cervical adenocarcinoma, first described by Young and Scully in 1989 [1]. This entity accounts for less than 5% of cervical adenocarcinomas and typically occurs in young women, often nulliparous or of childbearing age [2].
