'''Minimal deviation adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix''' is a very well-differentiated [[adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix]] associated with [[Peutz-Jeghers syndrome]].
 
It is also known as '''adenoma malignum''' and '''minimal deviation adenocarcinoma''' (abbreviated '''MDA'''). 
 
It is a subset of ''adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix'', which is dealt with in the [[adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix]] article.
