Abstract
Adenoma malignum (AM) is a rare type of variant of cervical cancer. The entity remains silent because of common
complaints of erratic menstrual cycles and leucorrhea in peri-menopausal age group of females. The imaging modalities
play a great role in clinching the diagnosis before the final confirmation by histopathological examination. We present 60-
years old post menopausal woman who reported to gynecology outpatient department with complaints of per vaginum
bleeding and watery discharge of six months duration .She was evaluated by cross imaging modalities of ultrasound (US)
,color flow imaging(CFI) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with working diagnosis of adenoma malignum of
cervix..This was subsequently confirmed in histopathological examination. The importance of the case lies because of the
early diagnosis by clinic-radiological evaluation in the light of poor prognosis and early dissemination of this entity.
