Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix is the second most common malignancy in women worldwide. We describe an unusual telangiectatic variant of squamous cell carcinoma in a 53 yr old woman. The tumor showed the usual morphologic features of a poorly differentiated keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma with >75% tumor area showing cavernous hemangioma like ectatic spaces filled with blood. The blood-filled spaces lacked an endothelial lining as evidenced by negativity for CD31 and CD34. This unusual variant has not been reported previously. Awareness of this entity is necessary for avoiding confusion with vascular tumors such as hemangiomas and angiosarcoma.
