The histologic differentiation of endometrial and endocervical adenocarcinomas is a common diagnostic problum of clinical importance, because the staging, treatment and prognosis of these lesions are quite different. First, we examined the distribution of acid mucin in endometrial and endocervical adenocarcinoma (23 cases and 25 cases repectively), but distinguishing differences between endometrial and endocervical adenocarcinoma, especially of endometrioid type, were not observed. Secondly, the distribution of low-molecular weight cytokeratin, vimentin and carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) by immunohistochemistry were examined in formalin-fixed tissues. CEA was present in 88% of endocervical adenocarcinomas and 34.8% of endometrial adenocarcinoma. vimentin was found in 91.3% of endometrial adenocarcinomas, in contrast with only in 16% of endocervical adenocarcinomas. This study showed that the presence of vimentin in neoplastic glands, in which CEA is negative, may be helpful in the differential diagnosis of endometrial from endocervical adenocarcinomas.

Condyloma acuminatum occurs in perianal and genital area by infection of human papillomavirus (HPV) and appeais as fairly soft verrucous papules or a cauliflower-like mass. So far 60 HPV types have been identified. Among them, condyloma acuminatum is predomi-nantly associated with HPV 16, 18 and rarely with 16, 18. HPV 16, 18 is regarded as a high-risk HPV infection because of the association of HPV 16, 18 with Bowens disease, cervical cancer, and anogenital cancer. In additioin, a significant appearance of cervical anaplastic lesions is preceded by condyloma acuminatum and a high prevalence of cervical dysplasia has been found in female consorts of men with geriital warts. Malignant transformation has been observed in rare incidences of condyloma acumina a on the external genitalia. We present a case of condylc ma acuminatum showing malignant transforrnation. The patient also has uterine cervical carcinonia. We detected HPV 16 in the lesion using polymerase chain reaction.

Endometrial ossifications in seven patients who presented with secondary or primary infertility were described. Herein, we described step-by-step bone forming process in the endometrium and we compared the clinicopathological features of metaplastic ossification and fetal remnants. In five of seven patients, metaplasia was unquestionable etiology of ossification, which was ocquired in the healing process of postabortion endometritis. Ossifications were recurred during the follow-up periods after total hysteroscopic removal in 2 cases. Three cases were followed by normal pregnancy, after total hysteroscopic removal of bony spicules in 2 cases and with retaining of bony spicules in 1 case. In one other case, bony spicules of fetal remnants were verified by multiple fetal hair shafts and endochondral bone formation. Therefore, the cause of endometrial ossification can only be determined by histological findings and careful past obstetric history.
