Abstract:
Adenoma malignum (minimal deviation adenocarcinoma) is an extremely well-differentiated adenocarcinoma of uterine cervix. Despite its benign histological appearance, this tumor is thought to be malignant and has a poor prognosis. Because Pap smear and punch biopsy have low sensitivity, accurate diagnosis of the tumor may be difficult. If it is diagnosed, it must be treated same as in cervical cancer. We presented one case of preoperatively diagnosed adenoma malignum by deep cone biposy with a brief review of literature.
