Microcystic, elongated, and fragmented (MELF) pattern of invasion has seldom been documented in endocervical adenocarcinoma (EAC). The aim of this study was to analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of EAC showing MELF pattern. We collected the clinicopathological information of 10 cases of EAC with the MELF pattern and conducted polymer-based immunostaining for Ki-67 (dilution 1:200, clone MIB-1) on these cases. Ki-67 expression was assessed using the average estimation within the hotspot method. All tumors were human papillomavirus-associated EAC with Silva pattern C. All except one tumor exceeded 3 cm in size. Five tumors involved the entire thickness of the cervical stroma, and four tumors extended into the parametrium. Lymphovascular space invasion was identified in six cases. Two patients developed metastatic recurrences in the para-aortic lymph nodes and lungs, respectively. The MELF area showed significantly lower Ki-67 labelling index than that of a conventional tumor area. We confirmed our previous observation that the MELF area displayed lower proliferative activity than the conventional tumor area of EAC. We also demonstrated that patients with EAC showing MELF pattern had several adverse clinicopathological characteristics reflecting aggressive behavior. On the other hand, since the frequencies of post-operative recurrence and disease-related mortality that occurred during the follow-up period were relatively low, further investigations are warranted to clarify the prognostic value of MELF pattern in EAC patients.
