Ectopic Darier's disease of the cervix: an extraordinary cause of an abnormal smear.

A small number of skin diseases may involve either extremity of the alimentary tract or the vulva. Fortunately for patients and cytoscreeners, they rarely involve the cervix or vagina. When they do, difficulty in diagnosis may arise if a full history is not provided. A case is described of cervicovaginal Darier's disease, which presented with an abnormal cervical smear and led to a dermatological referral.

Cervical presentation of thymic cysts.

Sixteen cases of cervical thymic cyst are added to the previously reported fifty-six cases. Seventy-five per cent of the patients were less than twenty years old. Eighty per cent complained of a painless mass preoperatively. The histologic diagnosis of cervical thymic cyst was made if thymic epithelial elements could be found adjacent to the cyst cavity; Hassall's corpuscles were usually present. Cholesterol granulomata could usually be identified. The theories of origin of cervical thymic cyst are discussed.
