A histopathological study has been performed on 319 cases of the uterine cervix
cancers which were submitted to the Dept. of Pathology, KyungHee University Hospital,
during the period of 7 years and 10 months from October, 1971 to August. 1979.
The results were summerized as follows:
1) The uterine cervical tumors were 8.4% of all surgical specimens which were
submitted from the Dept. of Gynecology during the same periods. And among cervical
pathologic lessons, the uterine cervix cancers were 21.73%.
2) According toeir growth pattern, exophytic growth were 66.18%, endophytic growth,
29.41%, and mixed type were 4.41%.
3) Among 319 cases of the uterine cervix cancers, epidermoid carcinomas were
94.04%(300 cases), adenocarcinomas, 3.76%, and adenosquamous carcinomas were 1.57%.
4) Among 300 cases with epidermoid carcinoma, 44 cases(13.79%) were carcinoma in
situ, 28 cases(8.78%), microinvasive carcinoma, and 228 cases(71.48%) were
invasivecarcima
5) The histologic subtypes of the invasive epidermoid carcinoma were as follows: large
cell keratinizing type(18.86%), large cell non-keratinizing type(74.56%), and small cell
non-keratinizing type(6.14%).
6) The most prevalent age groups of the uterine cervix cancers were 40∼49 years
(35.74%) and 50∼59 years(29.78%).
7) The most prevalent age group of the carcinoma in situ was 40∼49 years group
with the average age of 44.05 years, and that of the invasive epidermoid carcinoma was
50∼59 years group with the average age of 49.54 years.
8) The most prevalent age group of the adenocarcinoma was 40∼49 years and the
average age was 48.67 years old.
9) The uterine cervix cancers showed inflammatory reaction of moderate to severe
degree in 59.24% in which epidermoid carcinoma in 42.85%∼66.66% according to the cell
types, and adenocarcinoma in 16.66%.
10) The uterine cervix cancers revealed moderate to severe eosinophilic infiltration in
31.93%, in which carcinoma in situ in 14.81%, microinvasive carcinoma in 15%, and
invasive carcinoma in 35.25%∼42.85% according to the cell types.
11) The most frequent clinical symptoms of the uterine cervix cancers are irregular
vaginal bleeding(52.7%) and contacting bleeding(15.36%).
