Description

<p>Background : Few studies have investigated the usefulness of liquid-based cytology (LBC) specimens in patients with primary clear cell carcinoma of the cervix, a rare neoplasm. Herein, we report the case of a patient who was diagnosed as having primary clear cell carcinoma of the cervix based on LBC, and discuss the differences between LBC and smear cytology, and useful findings for differentiation from other adenocarcinomas.</p><p>Case : The patient was a 70-year-old woman. LBC examination revealed both isolated tumor cells and tumor cells in clusters ; glandular, papillary, and hobnail-like formations were also observed. On LBC, tumor cells with abundant and fine granular cytoplasm, enlarged round nuclei, and large and prominent nucleoli were observed.</p><p>Conclusion : These findings could be helpful in the diagnosis of cervical cell carcinoma using LBC.</p>
