Metastatic carcinoma from colorectal cancer to the uterine cervix is rare. We report a case of metastatic carcinoma from a right colon cancer to the cervix with vaginal extension 3 years after primary treatment. Our report highlights the importance of immunohistochemical analysis to determine the origin of uterine cervix cancer in the event of adenocarcinoma in a patient with a history of color...

Note Anatomically, uterine neoplasms may be localized at the corpus, isthmus (the transition between the endocervix and uterine corpus) and cervix. The fallopian tubes and uterine ligaments may also undergo tumour tranformation. This overview will focus on uterine cervix and corpus tumours, including benign, pre-malignant and malignant lesions. They may affect the endometrium, muscles or other ...

Small cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix is a rare form of cervical cancer characterized by extreme aggressiveness and poor prognosis because of its rapid growth, frequent distant metastases, and resistance to conventional treatment modalities. We report here a case of advanced-stage small cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy, followed by radical surgery, r...

Haematometra is a condition where blood collects in the uterine cavity when the outflow is obstructed. The commonest causes include congenital absence of the cervix or vagina and cervical conization. With the increasing rates of operative delivery in developing countries, untrained doctors are performing operations. This case report describes a woman with haematometra after caesarean section 4 ...

The histological criteria of uterine cervix lesions are well known. However, there is a poor diagnostic reproducibility especially concerning lowgrade precancerous lesions. Therefore, the aim of our study was to evaluate the utility of p16 overexpression as a surrogate biomarker of precancerous lesions of the uterine cervix. A retrospective study was carried out by the International Center for ...

Background & Objectives: Tumor diathesis (TD) is defined as granular proteinaceous precipitates on slide surface of cytologic smears. It is found in the background of smears of invasive carcinoma but not in all cases. The aim of present study was to determine the prevalence of TD in cervicovaginal smears from patients with uterine cervix carcinoma. Methods: Cytological smears and histological s...

Paraneoplastic neutrophilia caused by a squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix has been seen rarely. We report a case of relapsed squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix with severe neutrophilia, rapid tumor growth and aggressive clinical course, possibly due to autocrine stimulation of cell growth by G-CSF and IL-6 without other possible causes of neutrophilia.

The incidence of adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix is increasing. It poses the affected women in risk and the definitive treatment requires hysterectomy. Here we describe a case of adenocarcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix successfully managed by minilaparoscopic hysterectomy using interchangeable 5-mm end effectors.

Papillary serous carcinoma of the uterine cervix (PSCC) is a very rare, recently described variant of cervical adenocarcinoma. This review, describes a case of stage IV PSCC whose main tumor existed in the uterine cervix and invaded one third of the inferior part of the anterior and posterior vaginal walls. Furthermore, it had metastasized from the para-aortic lymph nodes to bilateral neck lymp...

Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) of the uterine cervix is a rare malignancy, and 21 cases have been reported the literature from every language (including our case). Herein, we describe a 17-yearold female patient who presented with active vaginal bleeding. Pelvic examination revealed a 1.6 ×1.0×0.5-cm-sized soft mass protruding from the uterine cervix. The final pathological diagnosis was ASP...
