[Intraepithelial spread of the squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix into the endometrium. A contribution to the question of a surface spread of the cervical carcinoma].

Four cases have been reported in which a squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix was spreading on the surface of nearly the whole endometrial cavity by expansive intra-epithelial growth. In one of these cases, in the portio, there was only a beginning invasion into the stroma, whereas in the other three cases the wall of the cervix was variably infiltrated. In two cases a change to infiltrating growth into the corpus uteri could be observed.
