Verrucous carcinoma of the endocervix

The case report of a 79-year-old woman with the histologic features of verrucous squamous cell carcinoma of the uterus is presented. The case is unusual because the characteristic exophytic lesion of verrucous squamous cell carcinoma was not visible in this patient, as the entire lesion was confined to the endocervical and endometrial cavities. The diagnosis was made by fractional dilatation and curettage in the evaluation of postmenopausal bleeding. The characteristic clinical and pathological features of verrucous carcinoma are discussed. The etiologic agent and appropriate treatment of this lesion are outlined.
