Excerpt from book: THE EARLY SIGNS OF CARCINOMA OF THE UTERUS. BY THOMAS S. CULLEN, M.D., BALTIMORE. Dr. Cullen gave a lantern exhibition illustrating the early points in the diagnosis of cancer of the uterus. In commencing, he briefly outlined the normal histology of the uterus, showing sections of the squamous epithelium of the vaginal portion, the racemose glands of the cervix, with their characteristic high cylindrical and pale-staining epithelium, and the tubular glands of the body. He pointed out that from each of these varieties of epithelium a different form of carcinoma may develop. Squamous-celled Carcinoma of the Cervix. The suspicious changes in the epithelium near the edge of the growth were shown. Then the gradual transition of normal into carcino- matous epithelium portrayed, and finally the involvement of the underlying stroma. Great stress was laid on the increase in size of the cell, associated with the formation of large, irregular, and deeply-staining nuclei. Adenocarcinoma of the Cervix. Several examples of early gland alteration were given and of carcinoma developing from the surface epithelium. Gross specimens were also shown where the organ was normal in size and contour, and where, without the timely aid of the microscope, a positive diagnosis would have been impossible. Adenocarcinoma of the Body of the Uterus. The doctor pointed out that the microscope is of the greatest value in the diagnosis of carcinoma of the body and at a time where the symptoms or the bimanual examination reveal little.
