Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Although squamous cell carcinomas and endocervical adenocarcinomas comprise the overwhelming majority of malignant tumors arising in the uterine cervix, other important but less common malignant epithelial neoplasms may also occur, including adenosquamous carcinoma, adenoid basal carcinoma, “adenoid cystic carcinoma,” and undifferentiated carcinoma. These tumors often display distinctive morphology, but they may be difficult to classify and raise a broad differential diagnosis, especially in biopsy specimens and when classic morphology is not readily apparent. Like most epithelial tumors in the cervix, these tumors are predominantly (but not exclusively) associated with human papillomavirus infection.
