Resumo: Sebaceous neoplasms, including carcinoma, can exceptionally arise in extracutaneous sites. We present the third known case of carcinoma with sebaceous differentiation in the uterine cervix. Histologic and immunohistochemical features suggested a metaplastic process within an otherwise usual squamous cell carcinoma. We speculate that, by analogy with the skin where the epidermis and the 3 types of adnexa have a common embryologic origin from basal cell layer of the superficial ectoderm, it is possible that endocervical reserve cells, in addition to the well-known capacity of squamous differentiation, retain the potential to give rise to appendages including sebaceous glands.
