Abstract
Background Cervical cancer on the mucosal surface of a pedunculated cervical leiomyoma has not been reported. Case A 54-year-old woman who had a bulky protruding cervical tumor with a history of a vaginal bleeding was diagnosed as having squamous cell cancer of the cervix. She received a total of 45 Gy (1.8 Gy daily using 15MV photons) external pelvic irradiation. However, on the follow-up MRI, the mass showed no response. The pedunculated exophytic mass was excised and the pathologic examination showed a leiomyoma covered by cervical stroma and squamous cell carcinoma. She then received additional intracavitary brachytherapy. Conclusion This is the first case reported in the literature of squamous cell carcinoma on the surface of peduculated cervical leiomyoma that presented as an exophytic cervical tumor.
