With great interest, we read the article written by Nucci et al. 5 concerning lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia (LEGH). They reported 13 cases of LEGH and compared them with 14 cases of adenoma malignum and other pseudoneoplastic glandular lesions. According to Nucci et al., LEGH consists of small to moderately sized rounded glands often centered around a larger central gland. The glands were separated from each other by cervical stroma and were lined by columnar mucinous cells similar to the normal endocervix, which showed no significant cytologic atypia.We recently reported a histologic analysis of 10 cases of adenoma malignum using a battery of histochemical stains, including those used for characterizing epithelial mucins. 1, 2 We classified three types of lesions that were related to each other: typical adenoma malignum lesion, gastric metaplasia, and overt adenocarcinoma. These three types of lesions coexisted in most cases. Their common feature was an expression of gastric phenotypes, especially those of the pyloric mucosa, including mucins, pepsinogen, and endocrine cells. A new monoclonal antibody, HIK1083, which is specific for gastric gland mucous cells, 4 is a useful tool in the recognition of these lesions.
