[A Case of Adenocarcinoma, HPV-independent, Mesonephric Type with Significant Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy].

Adenocarcinoma, HPV-independent, mesonephric type (hereafter referred to as "mesonephric carcinoma") arising from the cervix is rare, its treatment has not been established, and its sensitivity to chemotherapy has not been fully investigated. Here we report on a 30-year-old female patient who presented at our hospital with a chief complaint of abnormal genital bleeding. We suspected cervical cancer. Based on examination, biopsy, and imaging, she was diagnosed with stage IIA2 adenocarcinoma of the cervix and was scheduled for surgery. Because she had a SARS-COV-2 infection, she was given two courses of paclitaxel-carboplatin (TC) therapy, based on the then-current surgical risk assessment after SARS-COV-2 infection, with a waiting period of at least 8 weeks. The patient was deemed to have a partial response and was treated with paclitaxel and carboplatin, after which she was deemed to have a partial response and underwent total hysterectomy. A diagnosis of stage IIA2 mesonephric carcinoma, ypT1b2N0M0, was made after histopathologic examination of an excised specimen. The patient was treated with 4 additional courses of TC therapy after surgery, and has had no recurrence in 13 months. We report a first case of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with TC regimen in a patient with mesonephric carcinoma of the cervix.
