Abstract

Uterine endocervix adenocarcinoma (UEA) is shown to have a structure typical for glandular carcinomas. It differs from endometrial carcinoma by cytokeratin (CK) N 17 expression, that of carcinoembryonic antigen and negative reaction to vimentin. CK N 17 found in UEA is not observed in colon and ovarian adenocarcinoma. The latter gives a positive response to vimentin. These results allow differential diagnosis of endocervix adenocarcinoma and those of colon and ovary.
