Cervical Gastric-type Adenosquamous Carcinoma: Case Report of a Rare Neoplasm Associated With a BRCA1 Pathogenic Variant.
International Journal of Gynecological Pathology 2023 January 26
Gastric-type adenocarcinoma is the commonest human papillomavirus (HPV)-independent adenocarcinoma of the cervix. We report a rare case of a primary cervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma with malignant squamous elements (gastric-type adenosquamous carcinoma) in a 64-yr-old female. This is only the third report of a cervical gastric-type adenosquamous carcinoma. The tumor was p16 negative and molecular studies for HPV were negative. Next-generation sequencing showed pathogenic variants in BRCA1 and KRAS, as well as variants of unknown significance in CDK12 and ATM and homozygous deletion of CDKN2A/CDKN2B. Pathologists should be aware that not all cervical adenosquamous carcinomas are HPV-associated and the term gastric-type adenosquamous carcinoma is recommended when malignant squamous elements are present within a gastric-type adenocarcinoma. In reporting this case, we discuss the differential and the possible therapeutic options raised by the presence of pathogenic variants in BRCA1.
