A subset of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated endocervical adenocarcinoma (EA) displays exclusively exophytic growth, with or without a classic villoglandular appearance.

There is, however, a paucity of data regarding the behavior of these neoplasms.

In comparison to other adenocarcinomas, VPA generally demonstrates a more optimistic prognosis.

Objective: This multicenter study aimed to investigate the disparity in clinical features and prognosis among different histopathologic subtypes of endocervical adenocarcinoma (EA) based on the 2014 World Health Organization (WHO) classification.
Methods: We retrieved and analyzed data from the Chinese Four C Database between 2004 and 2018. 672EA patients with radical hysterectomies from 32 institutions were retrospectively reviewed.
Villoglandular adenocarcinoma (VGA) of the uterine cervix is a rare subtype of endocervical adenocarcinoma in young women. Between 2007 and 2020, all women with endocervical adenocarcinoma were retrospectively reviewed to find patients with VGA. Eight patients in whom pure VGA had been diagnosed were included.

Cervical adenocarcinomas constitute for approximately 10%-20% of all invasive cervical cancers. Villoglandular adenocarcinomas (VGAs) are a rare subtype of cervical adenocarcinoma, representing approximately 5% of all cases of cervical adenocarcinomas. Herein, we report the case of a 49-year-old perimenopausal woman successfully treated for VGA.
