A carcinoid tumor of the cervix in a 40-year-old woman was studied by cytology, histology, electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry and hormonal analysis. The preoperative cytologic and histologic findings strongly suggested a carcinoid tumor of the cervix. The serum serotonin level was elevated; immunohistochemical studies demonstrated the presence of serotonin in the cytoplasm of the tumor cells. Following radical hysterectomy, the concentration of serotonin was measured in the excised tumor; it was about 20 times higher than the level seen in normal cervical tissue, confirming that the tumor was a serotonin-secreting carcinoid of the uterine cervix.
