Rhabdoid epithelioid leiomyosarcoma of the uterine corpus: a case report and literature review.

A case of epithelioid leiomyosarcoma of the uterus with rhabdoid phenotype and early rhabdomyoblastic differentiation is described. A 72-year-old woman with a 5-week history of increased abdominal girth was found to have a large pelvic mass. The uterus revealed a large intramyometrial and left adnexal necrotic tumor that had spread to the small bowel mesentery and to the anterior abdominal peritoneum.

Significance of the cytologic diagnosis of endocervical glandular involvement in high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions.

The cytologic criteria for the diagnosis of endocervical gland involvement (EGI) by high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HGSILs) have been described, and this diagnosis occasionally is made. This study evaluates the accuracy of a cytologic diagnosis compared with that of follow-up cone biopsies. Twenty-eight patients with Papanicolaou (Pap) smear diagnoses of HGSILs with EGI, with follow-up cone biopsies, were identified from New York University computerized files.
