title: Argyrophil small cell carcinomas of the uterine cervix.
abstract: Thirteen cases of argyrophil small cell carcinomas of the cervix were reviewed. Seven of nine patients, who have been followed up for more than 5 years, died. These tumors were found to be aggressive in their behavior. Immunohistochemical studies to localize several peptide hormones were positive for gastrin in two of five cases.
