ABSTRACT
Background. Glandular lesions of the cervix are an entity that has been on the rise in the last two decades, due to their relative rarity and the difficulties of diagnosis and management.
The screening methods (PAP test and HPV test) have significantly reduced sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of glandular lesions.

Case presentation. This case report is about an interesting case concerning a young patient, whose diagnosis of Adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) is almost fortuitous and certainly unexpected.
Conclusions. Diagnosis of AIS is still a great problem: clinical outcome can be unpredictable, is mandatory improves our diagnostic skills.
