Abstract
Abstract: Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cervix is a relatively uncommon tumor accounting for < 1% of all cervical adenocarcinomas. The tumor is most often seen in 6th- 7th decade.

Sections examined showed nests and sheets of neoplastic cells arranged in cribriform and tubular pattern with areas of necrosis and ulceration. Diagnosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma was made on the basis of these findings.Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cervix is a rare and aggressive tumor with frequent local recurrence. Its clinical course is influenced principally by the clinical staging and the histological pattern of growth. Radical surgery with adjuvant radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy is the treatment of choice. Keywords:Cervical growth, vaginal bleeding, adenoid cystic carcinoma.
