Gastric-Type Endocervical Adenocarcinoma Mimicking Advanced Ovarian Carcinoma: A Diagnostic Challenge with Carcinomatosis and Obstructive Uropathy.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Gastric-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (GTEC) is an uncommon and aggressive variant of endocervical adenocarcinoma, notable for its lack of association with human papillomavirus (HPV). It often presents late in its clinical course, leading to diagnostic challenges as it may mimic other gynecologic malignancies. Case Presentation: This case report details the clinical course of a 63-year-old female patient who presented with a 2-month history of lower abdominal pain, abdominal distention, constipation, and postcoital bleeding. These symptoms are atypical for GTEC, in which patients typically experience a mucus-like or watery vaginal discharge. A comprehensive diagnostic workup revealed elevated serum levels of cancer antigen (CA) 125 and CA 19-9. Cervical and vaginal biopsies subsequently confirmed a diagnosis of moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, supported by immunohistochemical analysis that demonstrated strong positivity for CK7, CEA31, HIK1083, and HNF1-β, while showing negativity for p16, estrogen receptor, and p53. Despite her relatively short symptomatic clinical course, the patient exhibited signs of advanced disease, characterized by peritoneal carcinomatosis, vaginal involvement, and obstructive uropathy from pelvic mass effect. Conclusion: This patient's atypical clinical presentation illustrates that GTEC may mimic ovarian-like tumors, resulting in misclassification and diagnostic delay and further underscoring the challenge that HPV-independent tumors such as GTEC pose to current screening strategies and diagnostic frameworks.
