Peuzt - Jeghers syndrome with gastric type mucinous endocervical adenocarcinoma in a young woman: A case report

INTRODUCTIONPatients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) have high risk of malignancies, including gynecological cancers. Gastric type mucinous cervical adenocarcinoma might be presented in about 11-17% of PJS patients but the literature about this is limited. CASE PRESENTATIONWe presented a rare case of a 39-year-old Vietnamese woman with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome who has gastric type adenocarcinoma (GAS) of the cervix. She underwent radical hysterectomy, and the diagnosis was confirmed on final pathology. CONCLUSIONSOncologists and pathologists should recognize this rare clinical scenario for early diagnosis and treatment. This subtype also has an aggressive nature and poor prognosis.
