Villoglandular papillary adenocarcinoma is a recently described form of adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix, which apparently affects young women and seems to have a favorable course with an excellent prognosis. We report on a case of villoglandular papillary adenocarcinoma in a 26-year-old woman. The patient was treated by conization alone and is disease free after a 40-month follow-up.

Villoglandular papillary adenocarcinoma (VPA) or villoglandular adenocarcinoma (VGA) is a rare but well-recognized subtype of cervical carcinoma. It exhibits a favorable prognosis, particularly within the childbearing age group, and is considered a rare manifestation of mucinous adenocarcinoma typically observed in individuals of reproductive age. In comparison to other adenocarcinomas, VPA generally demonstrates a more optimistic prognosis.

Article Synopsis
- LEPP is a type of growth in the lining of the uterus that happens during pregnancy; it's uncommon but usually not harmful.* -
- Researchers studied 9 cases of LEPP and found it often appears after early pregnancy loss and looked at its size, shape, and changes under a microscope.* -
- The findings showed that these lesions are generally benign, meaning they aren't cancerous, and over time, patients did not experience serious problems from them.*

We report a case in which a polypoid lesion with a diameter of 5 mm was diagnosed as a cervical polyp due to a negative Papanicolaou (Pap) smear in the cervix, and polypectomy revealed a diagnosis of villoglandular papillary adenocarcinoma (VGA) on histopathological examination. A 63-year-old woman with a cervical polyp, who had no abnormal symptoms and a negative Pap smear was referred to our hospital. We performed cervical polypectomy, and the pathological result was VGA with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 3.
