A Case of Adenoid Basal Carcinoma of the Uterine Cervix
نویسندگان
چکیده
Adenoid basal carcinoma of the uterine cervix is uncommon neoplasia mostly occurring in postmenopausal women. It has excellent prognosis and a favorable clinical course. In addition, adenoid basal carcinoma is differentiated from adenoid cystic carcinoma by histologic and cellular morphologies, and immunohistochemistry. In this paper, we present the case of a 22 year old Korean female. She initially had a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) on Pap smear and a subsequent cervical loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) specimen revealing adenoid basal carcinoma. The lesion showed the histologic characteristics of adenoid basal carcinoma. Because of the lesion's low potential for recurrence and metastasis, the young primipara had a conization procedure performed and has been under close observation.

Adenoid basal carcinoma (ABC) of the uterine cervix is a rare neoplasm and its cell origin is still controversial. The clinicopathologic features was analyzed in a series of 10 pure ABCs. The immunohistochemistry expression of 3 basal markers including CK5/6, p63 and CAM5.2 was further investigated to explore the cell origin of ABC. The ages of the patients ranged from 56 to 73 years with a mea...
