Abstract 

A patient with stage IIb cervical adenocarcinoma underwent Wertheim hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy and bilateral adenexectomy followed by radiotherapy. Review of histologic sections diagnosed villoglandular papillary adenocarcinoma (VGPA) with metastatic lymph nodes. The patient has been disease-free for 17 years. This patient is the third case of VGPA with lymph node metastasis ever reported.
