Summary: This study includes 22 cases of Stage I cervical adenocarcinoma. The lymph node metastases and 5‐year survival according to the size of lesion and grade of tumour were evaluated. The overall pelvic and para‐aortic lymph node metastases were found to be 31.8% and 0% respectively. Metastases in the pelvic lymph nodes were found in 16.6% of patients with lesions less than 2 cm and 50.0% of patients with lesions 2 cm or greater in size. Pelvic lymph node metastases were found to be 0% for Grade 1, 25% for Grade 2 and 46% for Grade 3 tumours. The overall 5‐year survival was 68.2%. This figure varied from 60% to 75% according to the size of lesion and from 61.5% to 100% according to the grade of tumour.
