Published: January 2025

Pure ductal-type mesonephric remnants in the uterine cervix are rare. We report an unusual case in a 31-yr-old of cervical mesonephric remnants of predominantly ductal type exhibiting seminal vesicle-like differentiation in a female-to-male transgender patient receiving long-term testosterone therapy. To the best of our knowledge, this phenomenon has not been previously reported. The impact of testosterone on the female genital tract is likely to be encountered more frequently due to increasing rates of gender-affirming surgery, including long-term androgen use. Awareness of the morphologic features is important as such changes may be misinterpreted as premalignant or malignant lesions. In reporting this unusual case, we briefly review lesions derived from cervical mesonephric remnants and testosterone-associated changes in the female genital tract.

We sought to present and describe all cases of mesonephric adenocarcinoma (MNAC) and mesonephric-like adenocarcinomas (MLAs) at our institution. These cancers are rare, morphologically similar tumors of the female reproductive tract. In this case series, we present 13 new cases of MNAC/MLA that were identified at St.

: Cervical mesonephric adenocarcinomas (MNACs) are among the rarest neoplasms of the female genital tract. Unlike the majority of cervical cancers, which are predominantly squamous in origin and strongly associated with HPV seropositivity, MNACs are distinct in both histology and pathophysiology. Despite their unique characteristics, MNACs have historically been managed in parallel with squamous cell carcinomas, resulting in a lack of optimised, evidence-based treatment protocols.

Introduction: Cervical mesonephric ductal adenocarcinoma (MA) is an HPV-independent adenocarcinoma that occurs in middle-aged women. MA originates from remnants of the Wolffian duct that usually regress in females once the induction of sex differentiation is activated. MA is a rare disease that accounts for less than 1% of all cervical adenocarcinomas.
