AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2004 May;182(5):1255-8. doi: 10.2214/ajr.182.5.1821255.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the MRI features of small cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix and to correlate those features with pathologic findings.

Conclusion: Small cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix can be characterized by frequent parametrial invasion and extensive lymphadenopathy, although the tumor morphology seems to be nonspecific on MRI.
