Malignant neoplasm of the cervix is a type of cancer strongly associated with infection by the human papilloma virus. However, there are uncommon histological subtypes that are not associated with this type of viral infection and may behave more aggressively. This article reported the case of a 48-year-old female patient, with a previous history of previous hysterectomy for an ovarian cyst, diagnosed with neoplasia of the uterine cervix histologically classified as welldifferentiated gastric mucinous adenocarcinoma. There was no response to the initial treatment, with the patient having an unfavorable outcome.
