[Surprise in abrasion diagnostics].
Typical localizations of gynecological squamous cell carcinomas are the cervix, vulva and vagina and are therefore not uncommonly diagnosed in curettages. A differentiation from reactive hyperplastic alterations with a possible invasiveness in samples taken from the surface of the special type of well-differentiated verrucous squamous cell carcinoma can be difficult. This pitfall of such a tumor is presented in the case described here with corresponding diagnostic difficulties.
