Abstract
The Villoglandular papillary adenocarcinoma (VGA) is a variant of adenocarcinoma of the cervix. It occurs in young women having a favorable prognosis. Pathologically, VGA poses a diagnostic challenge. Here we present a rare case of a middle-aged female patient complaining of bleeding per vagina since1year. Histopathological examination reported it as a well-differentiated villoglandular adenocarcinoma of the cervix. This tumor as a separate entity should be recognised, distinguished from other variants of adenocarcinomas. Because of its good behaviour and favourable prognosis usually itsallow conservative treatment.
