Cervix cytology and primary malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract

: During the cancer check-up of a 46-year-old woman a PAP V was diagnosed in the cervical scrapings. The atypical cells of the abrasion specimens from the corpus uteri arouse strong suspicion of malignancy. Connected with the clinical data, this finding primarily indicated a metastatic involvement of the inner genitals. This suspicion was confirmed by exploratory surgery laparotomy. A large tumor was found intraoperatively which was occupying the entire stomach. Concurrently, a diffuse peritoneal carcinomatosis was found with involvement of the left adnexae in the sense of a Krukenberg's tumor.
