Psammoma Bodies in Papillary Adenocarcinoma of the Endocervix

Abstract
Psammoma bodies have never previously been noted in conjunction with cervical cancer. This paper presents a case of endocervical adenocarcinoma with psammoma bodies. Malignant and benign lesions which have previously been associated with psammoma bodies are reviewed. The proposed mechanisms of psammoma body formation are considered. The appropriate action upon finding psammoma bodies on cervicovaginal cytology is discussed.
