Neuroendocrine or argyrophil cell carinoma of the cervix has recently been accepted as a distinct clinical-pathological entity. The histologic pattern of these carcinomas is usually poorly differentiated or undifferentiated. Twenty patients with a histologic diagnosis of small cell carcinoma, undiff

โฆ Synopsis
Cytopathofogical characteristics of undifferentiated carcinoma of the ovary were examined and reviewed. Seven cases of undifferentiated carcinoma were encountered among 202 malignant ovarian neoplasms in the Saitama Cancer Center. Histologically, two cases contained a minor component of usual Miillerian carcinoma and five others were purely of solid architecture without dixerentiation. Nevertheless, six cases, four of which were totally undifferentiated histologically, showed cytological features characteristic of adenocarcinoma. The results indicate that even carcinomas histologically diagnosed as undifferentiated may have cytological features of glandular differentiation, which may be Miillerian in origin.

## Background: Insular carcinoma of the thyroid (ict) first was reported in 1984. to the authors' knowledge, few cytology reports have been published since that time. the authors describe the cytologic features of six tissue-proven icts and propose criteria that suggest its diagnosis. ## Methods:
