Abstract
Primary adenosquamous carcinoma of the endometrium with glassy cell features
(ASCGCF) is an extremely rare entity and to date, 16 cases of this entity have
been reported in the literature. ASC-GCF is an aggressive histological subtype
of cervical carcinoma with rapid growth and early metastases; however, very
little is known about those originating from the endometrium as they are limited
to only a few case reports. Herein, we report a case of primary adenosquamous
carcinoma of the endometrium with extensive glassy cell features which posed a
major diagnostic challenge by mimicking many entities with its histological
diversity.
