The occurrence of squamous metaplasia as a precursor of squamous cell carcinoma of the endometrium. 1977

Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the endometrium is a pathologic rarity. The 20th case of this lesion which meets Fluhmann's prerequisite criteria is presented. The etiology of squamous metaplasia is reviewed, and the relative frequency of its occurrence, as previously described, is reconsidered.
