Evaluated possibility of adenocarcinoma diagnostics under the cytological method by the uterine cervix material

Abstract

The results of cytological diagnostics of 138 patients with adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix were analyzed. Cytological verification of adenocarcinoma in specimens by the uterine cervix material allowed diagnosing as primary adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix as well as metastatic lesions. The diagnose adenocarcinoma by the uterine cervix material was occurred in cases of 1) endometrioid carcinoma of 87 (63.0 %) patients; 2) endocervical carcinoma of 21 (15.2 %) patients; 3) metastases of serous ovarian carcinoma in 18 (13.0 %) cases; 4) other metastases-colon carcinoma of 6 (4.4 %) patients, rectal carcinoma 2 (1.4 %), glandular carcinoma including gastric signet ring cell carcinoma 3 (2.3 %), and mucinous carcinoma of unknown organs of 1 (0.7 %) patient. Particular features of the uterine cervix adenocarcinoma, endometrioid carcinoma and ovarian carcinoma due to data of discriminate analysis were not noticed. Metastatic intestinal adenocarcinoma has specific palisade-like cells located in complexes that allowed to verify carcinoma. Also, presence signet ring tumour cells allowed to diagnose the metastasis of gastric signet ring cell carcinoma.
