| Summary: | Uterine cervix carcinoids are distinct neuroendocrine cervical tumors, representing a comparatively small percentage of them. These well-differentiated neoplasms are far less prevalent than small- and large-cell carcinomas, characterized by a more favorable biological course. We report a case of a 43-year-old woman with a nonmetastatic cervical carcinoid, managed with radical hysterectomy. She still remains free of disease. Scant reports in the literature prohibit any reliable prediction of cervical carcinoid prognosis. Thus, prompt identification of the disease and subsequent therapeutic intervention could alter the final outcome.
