Resumen

Adenosquamous carcinoma of the cervix is a rare form of cervical cancer, representing approximately 4 % of all cervical carcinomas. The mean age when the tumor develops is 57 years, although in individual cases it may occur in young women. The reported case is of a 48-year-old woman, with histopathological findings of the tumor mass in the cervix, which is lined by squamous epithelium with a pleomorphic nucleus, enlarged, rough chromatin, some of the nucleolus being prominent eosinophilic cytoplasm.
