Summary:In this case the authors describe a patient with primary microinvasive adenocarcinoma of the eso-cervix, with the cervical canal not involved by the pathology, diagnosed by colposcopy followed by biopsy. Before the diagnosis of microinvasive adenocarcinoma the patient was scheduled for electrocautery of the suspicious area due to the fact that previous Pap-smears had always been negative. The authors underline the important role of colposcopy as a diagnostic tool that should be mandatory before any surgical therapy on the cervix and that allowed to diagnose such a rare cervical tumor.
