Abstract

Adenosquamous carcinoma of the cervix (ASCC) is a rare malignant histologic subtype that has well-defined malignant glandular and squamous components that can be recognized without special stains. Authors, hereby, describe a case of ASCC in a 68-year-old post-menopausal female who underwent hysterectomy for uterovaginal prolapse. A diffusely infiltrating growth involving both the lips of the cervix was seen on gross examination. Sections from the growth showed both malignant glandular and squamous components. ASCCs are rare and aggressive tumors; hence early detection and appropriate management is crucial for achieving favorable clinical outcomes.
