Annie Rajiah AND Hemalatha N .

Abstract


Primary cervical signet-ring cell carcinoma has been rarely reported in medical literature, to date, only 18 cases with primary signet cell carcinoma of the cervix has been reported. Any occurrence of signet cell   differentiation has    to be thoroughly checked by way of ruling out primary from other commonly occurring sites like such as colon, stomach, appendix, urinary bladder, and breast . in our case 41 year old female who had a HPE report of PCSRCC, we ruled   out primary from other sites by subjecting her to gastroscopy, colonoscopy  mammography and CT of abdomen and  chest, further IHC studies on the biopsy specimen confirmed the diagnosis of primary cervical signet-ring cell carcinoma (PCSRCC). This case  is  been reported for the rarity of     presentation.
