Abstract
In a premenopausal patient with a 1-year history of abnormal bleeding laparoscopic
supracervical hysterectomy in combination with vaginal intrafascial cylindriform enucleation
of the cervix was performed. Histologic evaluation of the morcellated uterus was unremarkable.
Five months later the patient was diagnosed with a pelvic mass consistent with an
undifferentiated adenocarcinoma. Retrospective evaluation of the cored and morcellated
hysterectomy specimen showed clusters of malignant cells that may have been detected
by preoperative curettage. (Am J Obstet Gynecol 1997;177:478-9.)
