A review of 21 papillary squamous tumors of the uterine cervix encountered over an 8-year period is presented. The lesions were grouped into three categories: Group A, condyloma acuminatum, 15 cases; Group B, true squamous papilloma, four cases; Group C, verrucous squamous-cell carcinoma, two cases. The clinical and pathologic features of these three groups of lesions are described. In 14 of the 15 cases the condylomas were typical. One, because of extensive involvement of the cervix, was clinically suggestive of carcinoma, but histologically on cone biopsy showed the usual features of condyloma acuminatum. All four squamous papillomas showed histologic features of severe squamous dysplasia and carcinoma in situ involving the papillomatous as well as the adjacent nonpapillomatous epithelium, indicating a high risk of malignant transformation in this group of tumors. Two of the cases represented the rare verrucous squamous-cell carcinoma. The literature on the subject of squamous-cell papillomas of the cervix is reviewed. Including the present series, there are approximately 254 reported cases of squamous papillary tumors of the uterine cervix. Of this total, only 13 are regarded as malignant, and none has had distant or lymph nodal metastases.
