Abstract
Squamous cell carcinomas represent approximately 90% of cervical cancers. Squamous cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid differentiation is a rare histological variant with a very limited number of cases reported in the literature. This entity has been described more frequently in other locations (oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, skin and larynx). It usually affects postmenopausal women. The histological diagnosis is based on a squamous cell carcinoma fusing with a spindle cell component. Cytokeratin is positive in both components. Because of its rarity, no treatment recommendations are available and it is generally managed as a squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. We report a case of a 70-year-old female patient presenting an invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix with foci of sarcomatoid differentiation.
