Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the uterine cervix. A report of two cases. 1978

C P Nel, and A J Tiltman

Two new cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the uterine cervix are presented. The first patient, a 45-year-old woman, died from probable pulmonary metastases 1 year after presentation. The second, a 73-year-old woman, was alive, without evidence of disease, 6 months after presentation. Review of the literature and assessment of these 2 cases suggest that this tumour is radiosensitive, and the therapy advocated is radiotherapy followed by wide local excision.
