Cervical cancer in PJS



There is a rare cervical cancer associated with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, adenoma malignum of the uterine cervix or minimal deviation adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix.

Unlike most cervical cancers, it starts inside the cervix instead of on the outer lining.

It's hard to diagnose because of its location. PAP smears won't find it and a different type of biopsy is needed.

Women who've had AM/MDA report mucous or watery discharge, bleeding between periods, heavy bleeding, pain, hyperestrogenism and pain.

A list of article abstracts follows.
