[Squamous cell carcinoma of the endometrium coexistent with synchronous adenocarcinoma of the cervix].
Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the endometrium is extremely rare. The patient reported here with squamous cell carcinoma of the endometrium and a synchronous adenocarcinoma of the cervix, represents an extreme, unique example of multiple Müllerian neoplasms. The 70-year-old female had a three-month history of vaginal bleeding. On July 13, 1984, she underwent a radical hysterectomy with a pelvic lymphadenectomy. A histological examination substantiated keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma of the endometrium this tumor extending outside the uterus, and an adenocarcinoma of the cervix. Post-operatively she received chemotherapy and irradiation therapy, but metastases reoccurred and she died on December 1, 1984.
