| Abstract | Villoglandular adenocarcinoma (VGA) of the uterine cervix is a rare subtype of endocervical adenocarcinoma in young women. Between 2007 and 2020, all women with endocervical adenocarcinoma were retrospectively reviewed to find patients with VGA. Eight patients in whom pure VGA had been diagnosed were included. The mean age at initial diagnosis was 36.3 years (range 24-46). After surgical treatment, patients were followed up for 59 months (range 16-150). To date, all patients are alive with no evidence of disease. Neither lymph node involvement nor lymphovascular invasion was found. Furthermore, we examined the samples with a focus on morphological invasion pattern (Silva), stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs), and immunohistochemical programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression. PD-L1 expression was observed in 7/8 using the combined positive score (cutoff≥1%), 1/8 of VGAs using the tumor proportion score (cutoff≥1%), and 7/8 using the immune cell (cutoff≥1%). Using combined positive score and immune cell, PD-L1 expression was seen in 7/8 of pattern B and C tumors, with significantly higher expression in tumors with destructive-type patterns (P<0.05, A vs. B+C). Using tumor proportion score, no significant difference in PD-L1 expression was seen between VGAs with different invasion patterns. VGAs demonstrated twice higher sTILs in tumors with destructive-type invasion patterns. Our observations suggest that PD-L1 expression, tumor invasion patterns, and sTILs do not correlate with the excellent prognosis of pure VGA. |
