Endometriosis‐related cervical neoplasms are rare, and their clinicopathological features and association with human papilloma virus infection are unclear. A postmenopausal woman with recently diagnosed cervical adenocarcinoma was referred to our hospital. After further investigation, we suspected a stage IIB neoplasm that originated from endometriosis of the cervix or left parametrium. A radical hysterectomy was performed, and pathological examination confirmed a stage IIB cervical endometrioid carcinoma arising from the endometriosis in the cervix to the left parametrium that invaded the cervix; human papilloma virus infection of tumor cells was not detected. Endometriosis‐related neoplasms can occur in the cervix or parametrium and present as cervical cancer. The neoplasm described here was not associated with human papilloma virus infection.
