Our case differs from the previously reported ones due to its several exceptional features. Our patient had no history of trophoblastic or gynecological disease; is postmenopausal; had endocervical extension from the beginning; recurrences and metastasis at follow up; and had a high Ki-67 index and a normal beta-human chorionic gonadotropin value.ConclusionBecause precise differential diagnosis will alter the therapeutic approach and prognosis, it is necessary for treating physicians to be aware of these unusual presentations.
