Microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix: immunohistochemically detected prognostic factors in a case with poor clinical outcome.

Background: Established prognostic factors for cervical cancer are tumor stage, vascular space invasion, tumor size/volume, depth of invasion, and lymph node status. Although patients with superficially invasive lesions have a very good prognosis, cases are still reported which have a poor clinical outcome.

Case: We report a case of a 41-year-old woman with very early stromal invasion (0.
