Abstract
- Minimal deviation adenocarcinoma (adenoma malignum) is a variant of adenocarcinoma and is expressed from uterine endocervix. As a result of ever reported cases in the world, it is rare enough to occur in 1 to 2% of invasive cervical adenocarcinoma. Minimal deviation adenocarcinoma is well-differentiated form of adenocarcinoma in which the cytoplasmic mucin is rich and the glandular pattern simulates that of normal endocervical glands. Because of this, the tumor may not be recognized as malignant in small specimens, thereby causing delay in diagnosis. But recent studies have found a favorable prognosis if the disease is detected early. We experienced a case of minimal deviation adenocarcinoma, rare disease in the world, so we report with a brief review of literature.
