Serous carcinoma cervix: a rare and aggressive carcinoma mimicking ovarian malignancy

Cervical cancers are the most common gynaecological cancers affecting women in India. Only rarely it is seen that cervical cancers metastasize to the ovaries. Serous carcinoma of cervix is a rare histological variant of adenocarcinoma of cervix, which is an aggressive tumour which usually presents in advanced stages and with metastasis to local and distant organs. Its abnormal and metastatic presentation disguising as ovarian malignancy often deceits the clinical and surgical decisions. Here we reported a rare presentation of primary endocervical cancer masquerading as ovarian carcinoma, which was treated with staging laparotomy followed by chemotherapy and patient had a good response with resolution of tumour masses.
