Sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix

Abstract

Sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinoma (SSCC) is composed of squamous cell carcinoma element and spindle cell element, and can occur in any organ, such as the lung, skin and esophagus. But SSCC in uterine cervix is very rare. The prognosis of SSCC is poorer than squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of uterine cervix. We report here a case of SSCC of uterine cervix with a brief review of literature.
