Cervical Mesonephric Adenocarcinoma With Novel FGFR2 Mutation

Int J Gynecol Pathol. 2020 Sep;39(5):452-455. doi: 10.1097/PGP.0000000000000627.

Abstract

Mesonephric adenocarcinoma is a rare tumor, accounting for <1% of cervical cancers. Well-differentiated mesonephric adenocarcinoma can be difficult to distinguish from diffuse mesonephric hyperplasia. Herein, we report a case of well-differentiated mesonephric adenocarcinoma with an FGFR2 mutation not previously reported in the literature. Nonselective tyrosine kinase inhibitors or FGFR2 inhibitors may represent options for targeted therapy.
