Abstract:
•Cervical PEComas are rare neoplasms which present a diagnostic challenge.•Large tumour size is an important clinical prognosticator in cervical PEComa.•All reported cases of cervical PEComa classified as benign by Folpe criteria behaved in benign fashion clinically.•Tumours ≤ 4 cm may be assessed with cone biopsy, and simple hysterectomy considered if no adverse pathologic features.•Molecular characterization and linkage with coordinated rare tumour registries may identify novel treatments.
