[Clinico-pathological study of uterine papillary serous carcinoma]

Eight cases of uterine papillary serous carcinoma were studied clinicopathologically. Postoperatively, four were stage I and four were stage III. Operations combined with radiation and chemotherapy were performed on the stage I cases. Three of them died within one year, and the other one died 3 years and 7 months after treatment. The prognosis was extremely poor even in stage. I. UPSC is histologically similar to ovarian serous carcinoma and is characterized by a papillary architecture supported by a fibrovascular stalk and a lining epithelium of single or stratified atypical cuboidal epithelium. Psammoma bodies were found in 3 out of the 8 cases.
