RESUMO
Immunoperoxidase localization of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was performed on tissue sections of microglandular hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma of endocervical origin to see if CEA would be a marker of malignancy in this context. Twenty (95%) of 21 of the benign lesions were negative and one was focally positive. Nine (64%) of 14 adenocarcinomas were widely positive, four were focally positive, and one was negative. These results suggest that extensive immunohistochemical positivity for CEA in endocervical glandular lesions is indicative of malignancy.
