Abstract :
Gastric type mucinous adenocarcinoma (GAS) is a mucinous type of endocervical adenocarcinoma described in WHO 2014. It is known for its aggressive nature, recurrence rate, distant metastasis and poor response to therapy. It is associated with minimal deviation adenocarcinoma (MDA) which belongs to the same spectrum of the disease. Hence it is very important to diagnose these rare tumors and differentiate it from usual endocervical and metastatic adenocarcinomas. We describe a case of Gastric type of mucinous adenocarcinoma, which is MUC6, mCEA positive and p16 negative.
