Introduction
To review the malignant potential of the stump after subtotal abdominal hysterectomy.

Material and methods
Thirty-three patients with stump malignancy were diagnosed and treated between January 2018 and January 2022. All patients primarily underwent subtotal hysterectomy (STH) outside our hospital due to different indications, most of which seemed non-convincing. Upon presentation, they were evaluated properly and offered the best management plan.

Results
The presenting symptoms were abnormal histopathology report in 8 patients (24.24%), abnormal bleeding in 7 patients (21.21%), and postcoital bleeding and abnormal Pap smear in 6 patients (18.18%). The primary site of malignancy was endometrial in 17 patients (51.51%), on top of fibroid in 6 patients (18.18%), and cervical in 5 patients (15.15%). Eighteen patients (54.54%) underwent proper surgery, 9 patients (27.277%) were referred for chemoradiation, and 6 patients (18.18%) were candidates for palliative therapy.

Conclusions
Stump cancer cases show a worse stage silhouette compared with cancer cases in intact uteruses. The high prevalence of cervical stump problems should be taken into account before a change in surgical approach from total to STH is deemed possible. Further prospective studies with prolonged follow-up periods are needed to evaluate the risks and benefits of retaining the cervix at hysterectomy. Subtotal hysterectomy is easier, does not require distinct skills that lead to experience and follow-up, and must be limited to the narrowest limits of practice, provided that the woman knows that there are no health benefits to keeping the cervix in place.
