“…6,[8][9][10] In consonance with histopathology, only a few cytologic descriptions of GCC are available. 5,6,8,11 One of the objectives of this retrospective analysis was to identify the cytologic features of GCC. The other objective was to investigate the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) and progestogen receptor (PR) in GCC.…”

“…Furthermore, refined histological, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural methods have helped to recognize mixed epithelial patterns more readily. For instance, using these methods, glassy cell carcinomas of the endocervix [8015/3], characterized by large cells with abundant finely granular, ground-glass-type cytoplasm, prominent nuclei and lack of intercellular bridges and resembling clear cell carcinomas, have been recognized as poorly differentiated adenosquamous carcinomas with a very unfavorable prognosis (Richard et al 1981;Ulbright and Gersell 1983;Tanaka et al 1984;Wells and Brown 1986). In the moderately differentiated types of adenosquamous carcinomas, both glandular and squamous elements are either intimately mixed (Fig.…”

The new edition of this atlas integrates all significant advances made in the past 15 years in molecular pathology, tumor virology, and genetics of cervical cancer. It emphasizes the importance of these advances in facilitating its pathological diagnosis and in optimizing clinical management and prognosis. A new chapter on immunohistochemistry has been added, which includes refined detection methods, e.g., the overexpression of p16INK4a as a molecular marker in the early differential diagnosis of premalignant lesions. The section on etiology and pathogenesis in human papillomavirus-induced neoplasia has been incorporated to represent new insights into the sequences of cellular and nuclear deregulation at the molecular level. All chapters have been revised to include the newest advances and relevant experiences in how to interpret and manage cervical disease; they are supported by the addition of 35 new microphotographic illustrations. The tumor nomenclature is adapted to the latest edition of the WHO classification; the morphology code of the international classification of diseases for oncology (ICD-O) has been added. We have also updated the list of references by adding recent relevant publications.Again, the staff of Springer-Verlag deserve our thanks for their patience and skill in preparing the manuscript and in reproducing the microphotographs. Preface to the First Edition During the past decade our understanding of the histopathology of the cervix uteri has changed greatly. Because of the lifestyles of the modern permissive society, cervical viral infections have become epidemic, resulting in inflammatory and precancerous lesions that were uncommon but now are seen mainly in the younger age groups with increasing frequency. Then too, progress in molecular biology and immunohistochemistry has enabled us to distinguish subtypes of papilloma viruses, to proceed in understanding their action within the genome, and to trace the infected metaplastic and neoplastic-transformed cells to their histogenetic origins. The resultant refined classification of cervical neoplasias has helped to predict clinical outcome and to choose type of therapy.This atlas is intended for all pathologists, to aid them in their routine diagnostic work. We hope it explains just how comprehensive, important and complex the histopathology of the cervix uteri has become during the last few years. It covers all pertinent differential diagnostic aspects and describes in detail how to reach the correct diagnosis. The atlas is also meant for the clinician, to guide him in his often difficult decision of how to provide optimal care for the frequently young patient, who desires children but is at risk for cancer. In particular, the atlas is designed to foster an improved dialogue between the pathologist and the clinician.The microphotographs were selected from our daily diagnostic material, since they show best the technical variations confronting the clinical pathologist in his daily routine, where effects of specimen transport, differences in ...

“…[2][3][4] Pure glassy cell carcinoma, however, does have characteristic pathologic features that warrant special attention. Although the appearance of glassy cell carcinoma of the cervix in conventional smears is briefly mentioned in the literature, [5][6][7][8][9][10] the cytologic findings in liquid-based preparations have not been previously reported. We describe the clinical, cytohistologic and ultrastructural findings of glassy cell carcinoma of the cervix occurring in a 46-year-old Filipina.…”
