Dermal adnexal differentiation in a squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix.
The first case of a keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix with differentiation toward dermal adnexal structures is reported. A review of skin-associated structures in the non-neoplastic uterine cervix is given and the histogenesis discussed. Recent literature dealing with extracutaneous neoplasms with sebaceous differentiation is cited.
