Mesonephric rest hyperplasia can mimic cervical cancer, leading to misdiagnosis. Recognizing its distinct histologic, histochemical, and immunohistochemical features is crucial for accurate diagnosis in women undergoing hysterectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Pathology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Oncologic Pathology

Background:

  • Mesonephric remnants are common Mullerian duct remnants.
  • Hyperplasia of these rests is rare and can present diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A case is presented of mesonephric rest hyperplasia found incidentally in a hysterectomy specimen.
  • The patient was a 48-year-old woman.

Findings:

  • The lesion was initially misdiagnosed as well-differentiated cervical adenocarcinoma.
  • Histologic, histochemical, and immunohistochemical analyses were performed.
  • Key features differentiating it from adenocarcinoma are highlighted.

Implications:

  • Accurate identification of mesonephric rest hyperplasia prevents misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment.
