Résumé
Cervical mesonephric adenocarcinoma is a rare histologic cervical carcinoma variant arising from remnants of the mesonephric duct. Few clinical cases have been reported in the literature, and given the low rate of occurrence, the optimal management strategy is unknown. Most reported cases involve patients with either early stage (FIGO I) or metastatic disease. Herein, we report the only known case of locally advanced, node-positive cervical mesonephric carcinoma in a 55-year old woman with Mullerian duct anomaly of the uterus, obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. To our knowledge, this would be the first case report with the concurrence of both rare entities. We review the treatment paradigm in this patient, and the literature, including radiotherapy and brachytherapy techniques.
