Abstract

This is a report of two cases of carcinoma of the cervical stump developing after supravaginal hysterectomy. The first was a case of adenocarcinoma, occurring six years after operation for uterine fibromyomas. The patient was a widow, aged sixty-four, whose menopause had taken place nineteen years previously. She observed intractable vaginal bleeding. The appearance of the cervix strongly suggested malignancy, and the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma was established by examination of the scrapings. The growth was not extensive and the stump was easily enucleated.
