Abstract

Endometriosis-related cervical neoplasms are rare, and their clinicopathological features and association with human papilloma virus infection are unclear. A postmenopausal woman with recently diagnosed cervical adenocarcinoma was referred to our hospital. After further investigation, we suspected a stage IIB neoplasm that originated from endometriosis of the cervix or left parametrium. A radical hysterectomy was performed, and pathological examination confirmed a stage IIB cervical endometrioid carcinoma arising from the endometriosis in the cervix to the left parametrium that invaded the cervix; human papilloma virus infection of tumor cells was not detected. Endometriosis-related neoplasms can occur in the cervix or parametrium and present as cervical cancer. The neoplasm described here was not associated with human papilloma virus infection.
