Description
Villoglandular papillary adenocarcinoma (VGPA) is a rare subtype of cervical adenocarcinoma that generally affects young women and has a favorable prognosis. Its preoperative diagnosis is important to avoid excessive surgery. We report the magnetic resonance (MR) findings of a case in which the cervical tumor showed a fern-leaf-like appearance on high resolution T2-weighted images obtained at 3 tesla. MR imaging clearly showed this pathological feature that may suggest this disease.
