Abstract

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cervix is an aggressive tumor with fatal outcome. Only a few long-term survivors have been reported. It is an exceptionally rare tumor of cervix in the young patients below the age of 40 years, with only 10 cases reported in the literature. One such young patient, who was successfully treated with primary radiotherapy for stage III-b adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cervix at the age of 30 years and developed pulmonary metastases after remaining asymptomatic for 11 years, is presented in this case report. The diagnosis of pulmonary metastases was confirmed histopathologically by ultrasonography guided biopsy of one of the lung lesions. This is the longest ever reported disease-free survival for a patient with an adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cervix. The case is being reported for the rarity of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cervix, especially in a young patient and for very late (>10 years) metastatic manifestation
