Ichthyosis uteri associated with a uterine squamous papilloma
1School of Medicine, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey.
A 60-year-old woman was admitted for postmenopausal vaginal bleeding. Hysterectomy specimens showed an intrauterine polypoid mass that was a typical papilloma microscopically, accompanying severe ichthyosis uteri. There was no sign of dysplasia or malignancy. We observed changes simulating koilocytosis in some of the papilloma cells, but these did not stain with antiHPV antibodies immunohistochemically.
