[Microcalcifications in squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix (author's transl)].
The findings presented indicate that localized calcifications can sometimes develop within squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. Apparently, these deposits develop via calcium salt loading from epithelial necrosis within the cell complexes of the tumor. This means that, with microcalcifications in a metastasis of a squamous cell carcinoma, the pathologist evaluating biopsies should also consider the possibility of metastases of a tumor from the area of the cervix.
