title: Uterine cervical clear-cell adenocarcinoma with a choriocarcinomatous component: a case report.
abstract: A 55-year-old woman presented with vaginal bleeding. A tumor was found in the cervix; it was composed of 2 distinctive elements: a clear-cell adenocarcinoma and a choriocarcinoma. Histologic findings suggested that the choriocarcinomatous element was derived from a preexisting clear-cell adenocarcinoma through a metaplastic process.
