    Abstract Leptomeningeal spread of advanced squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the uterine cervix is unusual. To our knowledge, very few cases were reported in the English literature. We report a case of a 39‐yr‐old woman who presented with leptomeningeal metastasis from a stage IIb SCC of uterine cervix. The diagnosis was made by cytomorphological examination of smears obtained from cerebrospinal fluid. The cytomorphological features are demonstrated. Diagn.

    Cytograms of various histologically established forms of cancer of cervix uteri in 114 patients were analysed. The data obtained were used in subsequent collations of cytological and histological diagnoses of cervix uteri cancer in 550 patients. It was established that in a cytological investigation it was possible to determine the histological structure of tumours in 84.2% of the cases. Squamous cell keratinizing carcinoma could be diagnosed cytologically in 97.7%, squamous cell nonkertinizing carcinoma--in 74.7%, adenocarcinoma--in 84.1%, low differentiated--in 50% of the observations.

    Cervical cancer is the most common malignancy of the female genital tract in Korea. The most common histologic type of cervical cancer is squamous cell carcinoma. The simultaneous occurrence of histologically distinct squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix and invasive adenocarcinoma of the cervix is extremely unusual. We have experienced two cases of synchronous squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix. We report these cases with a brief review of the literature.

    The findings presented indicate that localized calcifications can sometimes develop within squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. Apparently, these deposits develop via calcium salt loading from epithelial necrosis within the cell complexes of the tumor. This means that, with microcalcifications in a metastasis of a squamous cell carcinoma, the pathologist evaluating biopsies should also consider the possibility of metastases of a tumor from the area of the cervix.
