Abstract
Papillary squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) of the uterine cervix is a ra re variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). It is characterized by a papillary architecture and markedly atypical epithelium. Invasion and metastasis have been reported. We report a case of PSCC in a 72-year-o ld woman who subsequently tested positive for HPV 16. To our knowledge , this is the first report of HPV typing in a case of PSCC. Our findin g of a high-risk HPV type in PSCC may help explain why PSCC has been r eported to have a clinical course similar to that of nonpapillary SCC.
