Zusammenfassung

Plattenepithelkarzinome im Bereich der Gynäkologie kommen häufig im Bereich der Zervix, Vulva und Vagina vor und werden daher nicht selten in Abradaten diagnostiziert. Bei oberflächlichen Probeentnahmen verruköser, hochdifferenzierter Plattenepithelkarzinome ist die Abgrenzung gegenüber reaktiv-hyperplastischen Veränderungen und einer möglichen Invasivität häufig schwierig. Der nachstehende Pitfall beschreibt einen derartigen Tumor mit entsprechenden diagnostischen Schwierigkeiten.

Abstract

Typical localizations of gynecological squamous cell carcinomas are the cervix, vulva and vagina and are therefore not uncommonly diagnosed in curettages. A differentiation from reactive hyperplastic alterations with a possible invasiveness in samples taken from the surface of the special type of well-differentiated verrucous squamous cell carcinoma can be difficult. This pitfall of such a tumor is presented in the case described here with corresponding diagnostic difficulties.
