title: Villoglandular papillary adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix with bulky lymph node metastases.
abstract: A patient with stage IIb cervical adenocarcinoma underwent Wertheim hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy and bilateral adenexectomy followed by radiotherapy.

This patient is the third case of VGPA with lymph node metastasis ever reported.
