Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Transplant Immunology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) of the cervix is a rare malignancy linked to high-risk Human Papilloma Virus (HR-HPV).
  • Solid organ transplant recipients, particularly kidney transplant patients, face increased risks for aggressive HPV-related malignancies.
  • Early detection and surveillance are crucial for managing HPV-associated cancers in immunosuppressed individuals.

Observation:

  • A 53-year-old kidney transplant recipient presented with abnormal uterine bleeding and metastatic disease.
  • Initial cytology suggested adenocarcinoma, but biopsy confirmed small cell NEC of the cervix.
  • The patient developed widespread metastasis, including bladder and pleural involvement, with mixed tumor histology.

Findings:

  • HR-HPV E6/E7 RNA in situ hybridization was positive, confirming HPV association.
  • Cytopathology of pleural fluid and bladder washing revealed metastatic small cell carcinoma.
  • Despite chemotherapy, the patient experienced disease progression and succumbed within a year.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the aggressive nature of HPV-associated cervical NEC in immunosuppressed patients.
  • It underscores the importance of considering mixed histology in HPV-related gynecologic cancers.
  • Enhanced cancer screening and surveillance are vital for renal transplant recipients and other immunocompromised individuals.
