“…Following the transplantation of Guerin’s carcinoma cell suspension, a tumor node of approximately 25 mm in diameter was identified macroscopically in the region of the inferior aspect of the right uterine horn. additionally, the presence of haemorrhagic effusion was documented in the abdominal cavity and tumor screenings. at light microscopy, areas of neutrophilic infiltration, significant narrowing of the lumen of the uterine horn with signs of involution, and prismatic epithelium of papillary structures were observed. the tumor cell features characteristic of Guerin’s carcinoma are preserved in the tumor node induced in the uterus, with a cytoplasmic-nuclear ratio that remains close to 1:1. the shapes of the nuclei vary, but the irregular ovoid shape remains dominant, and pathological mitotic figures are observed. the tumor stroma includes cytoplasmic branched connections connecting the tumor conglomeration. …”
