Adenocarcinoma and mixed carcinoma of the uterine cervix. I. A. clinicopathologic study.

Ninety-two primary glandular neoplasms of the uterine cervix, including 51 endocervical adenocarcinomas, four endometrioid carcinomas, and 37 mixed carcinomas, were reviewed to define the biologic significance of pathologic features. Pure adenocarcinomas were found to have a better prognosis from mixed carcinomas of comparable stage (overall five-year survival rate, 49 vs. 36%).

Significance of squamous components in endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary.

Forty-nine cases of ovarian endometrioid carcinoma with squamous foci were reviewed. Of particular interest was the biologic behavior of the neoplasms in relation to the appearance of the epithelium. As previously noted for the analogous uterine endometrial tumors, the ovarian adenosquamous lesions occurred later in life, were more advanced, were associated with less differentiated adenocarcinomatous components, and had a poorer prognosis.
