Primary signet-ring cell adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix: Case report and review of the literature

Signet-ring cell adenocarcinoma is a rare subtype of the uterine cervix; thus there are no guidelines and the prognosis is unknown. There seems to be a significant role for reporting the treatment and outcome of this rare disease in order to establish guidelines and to assist in decision-making. However, treatment should be tailored to each patient according to clinical status and disease stage. Excluding extra-genital origin is mandatory, as it will change treatment management considerably.
