Abstract
Abstract: Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cervix is a relatively uncommon tumor accounting for < 1% of all cervical adenocarcinomas. The tumor is most often seen in 6th- 7th decade. A 50-year-old postmenopausal woman presented to Department of gynaecology with vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal pain. Per speculum and vaginal examination showed a friable, irregular cervical growth measuring 5 × 4 cm which bled on touch. Biopsy of cervical growth was done and sent for histopathological examination. Sections examined showed nests and sheets of neoplastic cells arranged in cribriform and tubular pattern with areas of necrosis and ulceration. Diagnosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma was made on the basis of these findings.Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cervix is a rare and aggressive tumor with frequent local recurrence. Its clinical course is influenced principally by the clinical staging and the histological pattern of growth. Radical surgery with adjuvant radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy is the treatment of choice. Keywords:Cervical growth, vaginal bleeding, adenoid cystic carcinoma.
