Endometrioid carcinoma of the cervix is a rare histological subtype of cervical cancer. It falls under the sub group of adenocarcinoma of the cervix.
Epidemiology
It is thought to account for approximately 7% of cervical adenocarcinomas 2-3. The incidence is thought to have increased through the latter part of the 20th century 4.
Pathology
These tumors are generally moderate differentiated and bear some resemblence to endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the endometrium.
