title: AgNOR counts in endometrial and endocervical carcinomas.
abstract: The histologic differentiation between endometrial and endocervical adenocarcinomas is a common diagnostic problem. In the present study, the distribution of nucleolar organizer regions (NOR) is evaluated in the two groups of neoplasm, but it is concluded that NOR counts do not offer any histological discriminant between endometrial and endocervical carcinomas.
