Malignant mesonephric tumors are rare variants of cervical adenocarcinoma, derived from remnants of mesonephric ducts and are associated with mesonephric remnants and/or mesonephric hyperplasia. Few cases have been described in literature. We report an unusual case of cervical mesonephric adenocarcinoma of endometrioid type with squamous morules in association with diffuse mesonephric hyperplasia involving the cervical walls and extending into the myometrium.
