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 histologi...

Background: Cervix is part of female reproductive system. Cervix connects the upper body of the uterus to the vagina.The cervix is very commonly affected organ by a variety of infectious, inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. This study was undertaken to focus on uterine cervix tumors, including benign and malignant tumors. The most common uterine cervix benign tumors are leiomyoma. Carcinoma c...

labor is a physiological event involving a sequential, integrated set of changes within the myometrium, deciduas, and uterine cervix that occur gradually over a period of days to weeks. biochemical connective tissue changes in the uterine cervix appear to precede uterine contractions and cervical dilation, and all of these events usually occur before rupture of the fetal membranes. in other wor...

Using a progesterone receptor antagonist, onapristone/ZK 98.299, we examined the in-vivo effects of progesterone on the function of uterine cervix during pregnancy. Onapristone was intravenously administered to pregnant rabbits on day 20 post coitum. After 24 h, the antiprogesterone increased the wet weight of the uterine cervix and decreased the DNA concentration in the cervix. In-situ hybridi...

Secondary metastatic tumours of the uterine cervix are rare. There have been no reports of duodenal cancer metastasizing to the uterine cervix. Here we present a rare case of an extra-ampullary duodenal adenocarcinoma that has metastasized to the uterine cervix. The patient was a 71-year-old woman who had surgery for an extra-ampullary duodenal adenocarcinoma five years previously. Follow-up ex...
