The presence of signet-ring cells in an endometrial adenocarcinoma is extremely uncommon and it is always necessary to rule out a metastatic neoplasm. We report a FIGO grade 2 endometrial carcinoma with a signet-ring cell component found in the curettage performed to a 53-year-old woman. The neoplastic proliferation was also found in the endometrium of the radical hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy. The uterine neoplasm invaded less than one-half of the myometrium (FIGO stage I B). Alcian blue showed the presence of mucin in the signet-ring cells. The patient was alive and without evidence of recurrence 14 months after surgery. Polymerase chain reaction method from paraffin-embedded tissue revealed the presence of human papilloma virus type 11. We have discussed the differential diagnosis of this kind of neoplasm and we have reviewed the literature on signet-ring cell carcinoma of the endometrium.
在子宫内膜腺癌中出现印戒细胞极为罕见,因此始终有必要排除转移性肿瘤。我们报告了一例在对一名53岁女性进行刮宫时发现的具有印戒细胞成分的国际妇产科联盟(FIGO)2级子宫内膜癌。在根治性子宫切除术加双侧输卵管卵巢切除术以及盆腔和腹主动脉旁淋巴结清扫术中,子宫内膜也发现了肿瘤增殖。子宫肿瘤侵犯肌层不到一半(FIGO I B期)。阿尔辛蓝染色显示印戒细胞中存在粘蛋白。患者术后14个月存活,无复发迹象。石蜡包埋组织的聚合酶链反应方法显示存在11型人乳头瘤病毒。我们讨论了这类肿瘤的鉴别诊断,并回顾了有关子宫内膜印戒细胞癌的文献。
