Servikovaginal sitolojide pozitif bulgu veren mide kökenli metastatik taşlı yüzük hücreli karsinom

Öz

Çalışmamızda, mideye ait taşlı yüzük hücreli karsinomu ilk olarak Servikovaginalsitolojide pozitif bulgu veren, primer tanısı bilinmeyen 62 yaşında kadın hasta sunulmuştur. Nadiren de olsa mide karsinamlarının ilk olarak servikovaginal smearda bulgu verebileceği hatırlanarak, genital sis teme ait tümörlerin sitolojik özelliklerini taşımayan, atipik glandülerhücrelerin ayırıcı tanısına gastrointestinal sisteme ait tümör metastazlarının da alınması yararlı olacaktır.
