ADENOCARCINOMA PAPILAR DEL CUELLO UTERINO: COMUNICACIÓN DE UN CASO Y REVISIÓN DE LA LITERATURA

SUMMARY A 42 year old patient with a diagnosis of serous papillary adenocarcinoma of the cervix stage Ib1 treated by radical hysterectomy and bilateral lymphadenectomy is reported. The patient was considered treated because the pathology study did not demonstrate tumor outside the cervix or lymphatic nodes. The serous papillary adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix is an extremely infrequent tumor and therefore compels to discard a secondary cervical involvement by serous tumors derived from the endometrium, ovary or tube. This is the first chilean case reported. The prognosis and optimum treatment of these tumors is still uncertain. Basal Ca-125 and then during the follow-up could help in evaluation of treatment as well as in the suspicion of persistent illness or recidives.
