Adenocarcinoma admixed with neuroendocrine carcinoma of the uterine cervix is a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis, and few reports have described the cytological features of this carcinoma. To characterize the cytological features of this malignancy in cervical smears, we report a case of a 52-year-old Japanese woman with cervical adenocarcinoma admixed with small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNEC). Cytologically, there were two types of cells with different sizes. The smaller cells formed clusters, which showed a partially Indian file pattern, a high nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio, and hyperchromatic nuclei. In contrast, the larger cells showed cytological features of adenocarcinoma, indicating a glandular-like pattern. Histological examination of biopsy specimens revealed that the tumors were composed of almost equal areas of SCNEC and adenocarcinoma. Neuroendocrine differentiation was confirmed by immunohistochemistry for synaptophysin and CD56. Thus, when adenocarcinoma cells are detected in smears, attempts to search for SCNEC cells should be made by combined cytological and histological analyses in order to reach an accurate diagnosis of the carcinoma in the uterine cervix.

腺癌与子宫颈神经内分泌癌混合是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤,预后较差,很少有报道描述该癌的细胞学特征。为了表征这种恶性肿瘤在宫颈涂片中的细胞学特征,我们报告了一例52岁的日本妇女,该妇女患有宫颈腺癌并伴有小细胞神经内分泌癌 (SCNEC)。在细胞学上,有两种大小不同的细胞。较小的细胞形成簇,显示出部分印度文件模式,高核/细胞质比和深染核。相反,较大的细胞显示出腺癌的细胞学特征,表明腺样模式。活检标本的组织学检查显示,肿瘤由SCNEC和腺癌几乎相等的区域组成。突触素和cd56的免疫组织化学证实了神经内分泌分化。因此,当在涂片中检测到腺癌细胞时,应通过结合细胞学和组织学分析来尝试寻找SCNEC细胞,以便对子宫颈癌进行准确诊断。
