Abstract
|
|
|
We report a case of placental site trophoblastic tumor with cytologic features of cervico-vaginal smear. The smear revealed several loose clusters of atypical cells in slightly hemorrhagic and inflammatory background. Tumor cells were
large
in size and polyhedral to round with abundant cytoplasm. Nuclei revealed considerable variation in size. shape, and degree of chromatin clumping. Cytologically. it was difficult to differentiate from squamous cell carcinoma of uterine
cervix. Curettage and hysterectomy specimen revealed typical histologic features of placental site trophoblastic tumor composed of intermediate type trophoblasts.
