초록
We report a case of placental site trophoblastic tumor with cytologic features of cervico-vaginal smear. The smear revealed several loose clusters of atypicai cells in slightly hemorrhagic and inflammatory background. Tumor cells were large in size and polyhedral to round with abundant cytoplasm Nuclei revealed consider-able variation in size, shape, and degree of chromatin clumping. Cytologically, it was difficult to differentiate from squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix. Curettage and hysterectomy specimen revealed typical histologic features of placental site trophoblastic tumor composed of intermediate type trophoblasts.
