title: [Cervical adenocarcinoma as a rare cause of vaginal bleeding in a young woman].
abstract: Cervical adenocarcinoma is a less frequent variant than squamous carcinoma. The incidence of cervical adenocarcinoma has been increasing over the last several years. Villoglandular papillary adenocarcinoma usually affects young women and generally has a good prognosis. The treatment of this adenocarcinoma is surgical, with conisation being sufficient in localised cases, but a hysterectomy is often necessary to try and preserve the ovaries and maintain endocrine function.
