Villoglandular papillary adenocarcinoma of uterine cervix has been recently described and to date fewer than a hundred cases have been reported in the world literature. Here we present a 38-year-old woman who underwent radical hysterectomy combined bilateral pelvic lymphoadenectomy and after 28 months postoperatively no lymph node metastasis and no evidence of recurrent disease ocurred. Immunohistochemically Ki-67 overexpression was detected in the tumour, with no immunoreactivity with p53, estrogen and progesteron receptors and broadly-reactive human papilloma virus including types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 42, 51, 52, 56, and 58. In this paper, clinical, macroscopical, microscopical and immunohistochemical characteristics of this tumour are reviewed.

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.*

Objective: Endometrial cancer prognosis is related to stage, histology, myometrial invasion, and lymphovascular space invasion. Several studies have examined the association between pretreatment thrombocytosis and patient outcomes with contrasting results regarding prognosis. Our aim was to evaluate the association of pretreatment platelet count with outcomes in endometrial cancer patients.

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.

The aim was to investigate the clinicopathologic characters of cervical villoglandular adenocarcinoma (VGA), the authors retrospectively reviewed 4 cases of VGA, including clinical characteristics, pathology, managements, together with outcome information. The median age of the patients was 42 (range: 37 to 58), with 3 of them presenting with stage IB disease and 1 presenting with IVB. Human papillomavirus infection was tested in 3 of the patients, with all positive with high-risk type.
