title: Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cervix: a report and review of 3 cases.
abstract: Adenoid cystic carcinoma was reported in 3 Japanese women. In all cases, the condition followed the same rapid pattern of deterioration described in previous literature. The characteristic cribriform pattern was observed in all patients under a microscope, even in small parts of the tumor. This finding of this tumor may indicate that the adenoid cystic carcinoma is not identical to, but a variation of an undifferentiated carcinoma derived from the reserve cell.
