Abstract:
We describe a case of an alveolar soft-part sarcoma of the cervix in a 35-year-old woman. The light- and electron-microscopic and immunohistochemical findings are described. Periodic acid-Schiff-positive, diastase resistant, intracytoplasmic crystals, pathognomonic for alveolar soft-part sarcoma, were present. The cells expressed immunoreactivity for neuron-specific enolase and protein S100. The results of our own immunohistochemical examinations and those presented in the literature are discussed.
