LESION, UTERINE CERVIX, BIOPSY:
- INVASIVE SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA, MODERATELY DIFFERENTIATED, FRAGMENTED.
- PLEASE SEE TUMOUR SUMMARY.
TUMOUR SUMMARY - UTERINE CERVIX
Specimen: Cervix.
Procedure: Biopsy.
Tumour Site: Cannot be determined.
Tumour Size: Cannot be determined - see comment.
Histologic Type: Squamous cell carcinoma, keratinizing.
Histologic Grade: G2: Moderately differentiated.
Stromal Invasion: Extent cannot be assessed - see comment.
Lymph-Vascular Invasion: Not identified.
Comment:
The tissue submitted is essentially all tumour. The largest fragment measures 1.2 x 1.4 cm
in the plane of section. Fragmentation and lack of normal histology preclude orientation.
As both the in plane dimensions exceed 0.7 cm, this is at least a pT1b.

-- MARGINS NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
-- PLEASE SEE TUMOUR SUMMARY.
- PROLIFERATIVE ENDOMETRIUM.
- UTERINE LEIOMYOMAS.
- UTERINE TUBES WITH CHANGES COMPATIBLE WITH LIGATION, NO SIGNIFICANT PATHOLOGY.
- OVARIES WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT PATHOLOGY.
