We report the case of a 30-year-old pregnant woman with uterine cervical cancer, in which the tumor contained both small cell carcinoma and tubular adenocarcinoma components. Cytology showed atypical cells with small bare nuclei, scattered singly or in loose clusters, in addition to atypical glandular tissue. Cervical biopsy demonstrated both small cell carcinoma and tubular adenocarcinoma components. On immunohistochemistry, the small cell carcinoma cells showed positive staining for chromogranin A, somatostatin, NSE and SSTR2. At 29 weeks of gestation, the patient underwent abdominal cesarean section, delivering a female baby, followed by radical hysterectomy ; thereafter, she received chemotherapy. Until now, there has been no evidence of recurrence.
