The case report of a 38-year-old woman with a pelvic abscess resulting from
verrucous carcinoma of the uterine cervix is presented. This case is remar
kable because the abscess formed a fistula through the anterior abdominal w
all and because there was no visible lesion on the cervix. The patient unde
rwent a total abdominal hysterectomy, left salpingectomy, fistulectomy, and
removal of the abscess. Diagnosis was made on pathologic examination of th
e extirpated specimen. Genital tract verrucous carcinoma and genitocutaneou
s fistulae are reviewed. (C) 1999 Academic Press.
