Verrucous carcinoma of the uterine cervix. A case report.
The cytohistopathologic features of a verrucous cervical carcinoma are reported. The presence in a cervical smear of two distinct types of dyskaryotic cells, with regularity of size and shape, and of occasional vacuolated cells set in a bright, eosinophilic background should suggest the lesion. With the cytologic suggestion and the typical warty clinical appearance of the tumor, an accurate preoperative diagnosis may be established.
