Purpose: Invasive stratified mucin-producing carcinoma (i-SMILE) represents a recently recognized subtype of cervical adenocarcinoma (AC) developing in a background of a stratified mucin-producing intraepithelial lesion (SMILE). Clinical and prognostic data on i-SMILE are limited.
Methods: We report a series of five cases with histopathological, immunohistochemical (p16) and PCR analyses. The cases as well as the patients previously published in the literature were reviewed for follow-up information.
Results: Thirteen cases were identified. The mean age of 47.1 years (range 34-66) was not different from the usual type of cervical AC. 10/13 cases presented with tumors > 2 cm and a polypoid-exophytic appearance. Regardless of tumor size and stage of the disease, 7 out of 11 patients developed recurrent disease after a mean of 7.8 months (range 6 weeks-36 months). Five patients developed distant metastases (three of them in the lungs). Five out of the 11 informative cases died of the disease. All reported cases were positive for high-risk HPV (mainly HPV type 18) and associated with p16-overexpression.
Conclusion: i-SMILE represent a distinct subtype of invasive endocervical AC, associated high-risk HPV infection and strong p16-overexpression. Clinically, i-SMILE may represent an aggressive tumor with early recurrent disease and substantial risk of distant metastatic disease, especially to the lungs.

Background/aim: Invasive stratified mucin-producing carcinoma (ISMC) is a rare but aggressive variant of endocervical adenocarcinoma (EAC). The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in clinicopathological features, patient outcomes, and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression among ISMC, usual-type EAC (UEA), and gastric-type EAC (GEA).
Patients And Methods: PD-L1 22C3 immunostaining was performed using 20 ISMCs, 20 UEAs, and 20 GEAs.

Invasive stratified mucin-producing carcinoma (ISMC) is a specific type of adenocarcinoma of the cervix, which is associated with human papillomavirus infection and often coexists with other types of carcinomas. However, given its rarity, understanding of this disease remains insufficient. We present a unique case of ISMC of the cervix coexisting with a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL).

To investigate the clinicopathological features, prognosis and the expression of HER2 and PD-L1 in invasive stratified mucin-producing carcinoma of the cervix (ISMC). The clinicopathological data of 18 ISMC cases with radical resection of the cervix diagnosed in the Daping Hospital, Army Medical University from January 2018 to December 2023 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. PD-L1 and HER2 immunohistochemical staining and HER2 FISH were conducted.

Primary anal cancers are rare and typically driven by high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Though squamous cell carcinoma is most common, a spectrum of HPV-related nonsquamous anogenital neoplasms with similarities to cervical stratified mucin-producing carcinoma has been reported. In this study, we mined our institutional archives to characterize the clinicopathologic features of this emerging entity.

Background: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women globally and has a strong association with Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Stratified mucinproducing intraepithelial lesion (SMILE), a variant of Adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), is a rare cervical precancer lesion that is often missed or detected incidentally.
Case Presentation: The present case report briefs the finding of a 39-year-old woman who presented to the gynecological outpatient department with complaints of vaginal discharge for 6-8 months.
