title: A case of neutrophilia related to a cytokine-producing relapsed squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix arising from the rectovaginal septum.
abstract: Paraneoplastic neutrophilia caused by a squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix has been seen rarely. We report a case of relapsed squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix with severe neutrophilia, rapid tumor growth and aggressive clinical course, possibly due to autocrine stimulation of cell growth by G-CSF and IL-6 without other possible causes of neutrophilia.
