Abstract
Sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinoma (SSCC) is a recognized entity, usually involving the upper aerodigestive tract and skin. Location in the lower female genital tract is rare. Only 11 cases have been previously reported, four of which arose in the uterine cervix. The authors describe the case of a 39-years-old woman with SSCC of the uterine cervix in Stage I of the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (F.I.G.O.) classification. The patient died of disease 12 months after diagnosis. Similar cases described in the literature are also reviewed.Entities:
