There are published reports of conventional cervical smear findings in uterine MMMT, but to the best of our knowledge the cytomorphology of MMMT in SurePath\u2122 liquid\u2010based cytology samples has not been described.<\/jats:p><jats:p>We present a series of eight cases of uterine MMMT in SurePath\u2122 cervical samples.<\/jats:p><jats:p>The mean age of the women was 65.5 years (range, 60\u201382 years) and the most common presenting symptom was postmenopausal bleeding. Three out of the eight cases had both epithelial and sarcomatous elements in highly cellular cervical samples. In two cases, abnormal glandular cell clusters were closely associated with the mesenchymal component. The glandular component was usually represented by three\u2010dimensional clusters of malignant glandular cells and a dispersed population of large, round to oval malignant epithelial cells with single prominent nucleoli. Necrosis or tumor diathesis was not seen in any cases. Six out of the eight cases were initially reported as adenocarcinoma, endometrial type, and two cases as normal. Five cases had an atrophic background and tiny atypical glandular clusters that could easily be overlooked.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Although cervical sample is not the method of choice for primary uterine carcinosarcoma screening, the possibility of the same should be kept in mind, when reporting a cervical sample from a woman with postmenopausal vaginal bleeding.
