Verrucous carcinoma is a peculiar type of squamous cell carcinoma character­ized by a clinicopathological behavior.This neoplasm is grossly cauliflower, warty, or parachute in shape, slowly growing and pushing the adjucent tissue without a definite invasion. Rarely causing metastasis. This tumor is radio­resistant and the choice treatment is surgery. Histological features resemble the papilloma...

Among the actions of early diagnosis of uterine cervix cancers, the sequence cytologic smear, colposcopy, cervix biopsy is well-known. The authors draw the attention that in some situations the cytologic smear and colposcopy are not sufficient and it is only biopsy that defines the nature of the lesion and may give therapeutic indications. Out of a series of 55 women to whom a cervix biopsy was...

The development of acute myeloid leukaemia after low-dose radioiodine therapy and its presentation as a myeloid sarcoma of the uterine cervix are both rare events. We report a case of acute myeloid leukaemia revealed by a myeloid sarcoma of the uterine cervix in a 48-year-old woman, 17 months after receiving a total dose of 100 mCi (131)I for papillary thyroid cancer. A strict hematological fol...

There is a close relationship between the rate of the uterine cervix opening during parturition and the presence or absence of a completely ripened cervix. In order to learn the basic pattern of the ripening of cervix, histological and histochemical studies were performed on the human uterine cervix during pregnancy. It was noted that the collagen bundles disintegrated into fine fibers and also...

The present study was designed to determine the effect of the spatial gradient from the cervix to the uterine fundus on the control of local prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS) 2 mRNA expression. We performed total cesarean hysterectomies during the last trimester in 12 pregnant baboons, 7 not in labor and 5 in labor, and examined PGHS2 mRNA expression throughout the uterus. PGHS2 mRNA abundance wa...

Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix is an extremely rare malignancy of the female genital tract with a poorer clinical outcome than squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. We report a case of pure basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. A 70-yr-old woman with vaginal bleeding was referred to our institute. A basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the uteri...

isolated skeletal metastasis to the bony calvarium is extremely rare in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. we describe the clinical and imaging findings in a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix with metastases to the bony calvarium as the sole site of metastasis. the patient was a 65-year-old woman with squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix, f...

sists mainly of collagen, hyaluronan, and proteoglycan. During gestation, it must close firmly to retain the fetus in the uterus. It undergoes ripening and dilatation at term, forming a parturient canal so that delivery can occur. During ripening, there are increases of collagen degradation in connective tissues, and proteoheparan sulfate, while decorin decreases. Inflammatory mediators, such a...

Cervical abnormalities may be congenital or acquired. Congenital anomalies of the cervix are rarely isolated, and more commonly accompany other uterine anomalies. Various imaging tools have been used in the assessment of Mullerian duct anomalies (MDAs). Currently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the modality of choice for definitive diagnosis and classification of the MDAs. Hysterosalpingog...
