Core Tip

Core tip: We evaluated a case of cervical mesonephric adenocarcinoma in a 48-year-old female who was accidentally found by surgery and received postoperative chemotherapy. Rare lung metastases appeared during follow-up. The disease is very rare and there have been only 48 cases reported in the literature since 1962. We performed a literature review to summarize the clinical manifestation, pathological characteristics, immunohistochemistry, treatment, and prognosis of the disease, in order to increase the experience of diagnosis and treatment and benefit patients.
