Overview
Pathophysiology
Pathologic types
Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, the precursor to cervical cancer, is often diagnosed on examiniation of cervical biopsies by a pathologist. Histologic subtypes of invasive cervical carcinoma include the following:
- squamous cell carcinoma (about 80-85%)
- adenocarcinoma
- adenosquamous carcinoma
- small cell carcinoma
- neuroendocrine carcinoma
Non-carcinoma malignancies which can rarely occur in the cervix include
