Overview

A new example of atypical oxyphilic metaplasia (AOM) of the uterine endocervix occurring ina 37-year-old female is presented. This rare lesion is worrisome in appearance but entirely indo-lent and needs to be distinguished from glandular atypia or adenocarcinoma in situ of the cervix.In the present case, there were seen transitions between AOM and tubal metaplasia in somecervical glands. Additionally, similar eosinophilic and ciliated changes were found in the endo-metrium. These findings suggest that AOM, tubal metaplasia of the cervix and eosinophilic meta-plasia of the endometrium may be related from the pathogenetic viewpoint.

Key words:
oxyphilic metaplasia - endocervical atypia
