  • Descrição: Introduction: Early stages of cervical cancer remain asymptomatic. Its common symptoms are postcoital bleeding, postmenopausal bleeding, heavy menstrual flow and foul smelling blood stained discharge. Presentation of locally advanced cervical cancer with hydrometrocolpos is unusual. Case report: An 83-year-old woman who presented with a large abdomino-pelvic mass was diagnosed as benign bilateral ovarian tumour with left sided hydroureteronephrosis. During laparotomy, the mass was confirmed to be a hydrometrocolpos with left hydroureteronephrosis secondary to a locally advanced cervical cancer (FIGO IIIB). Histology confirmed the diagnosis of invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. Conclusion: Besides thorough evaluation via symptoms and signs, radiologists have an important role in guiding surgeons to the most probable diagnosis. In an elderly woman with a stenosed vagina and a pelvic mass with hydroureteronephrosis, gynecologists need to be aware of the possibility of locally advanced cervical cancer, and perform relevant preoperative assessments and plan management.
