Histological and cytological evidence of a condylomatous lesion in association with an invasive carcinoma of uterine cervix.
A 38-year-old woman is presented in whom both cytological and histological evidence disclosed a flat type condylomatous lesion in the uterine cervix where an invasive squamous cell carcinoma had its origin. The significance of this association of condyloma and cervical carcinoma is discussed, and the conclusion is drawn that the cervical epithelium of the women showing condyloma-suggestive cells in the cytologic smears should be thoroughly examined and strictly followed-up because of the possibility that these virus-induced condylomatous lesions may represent the precursors of an invasive cervical carcinoma.
