Squamous-cell carcinoma of the endometrium and cervix.
We present a case of endometrial squamous-cell carcinoma in a hysterectomy specimen also showing CIS of the cervix with signs of human papillomavirus infection in a 64-year-old woman. The hypothetical histogenetic relationship of both neoplasms is discussed taking together the evidence collected in the very few similar cases on record.
