An unusual case of an endodermal sinus tumor arising in the retroperitoneum and invading the fallopian tube is reported. The patient presented with malignant cells mimicking adenocarcinoma in the cervicovaginal smear. The differential diagnoses of such cells in cervicovaginal cytology are discussed. The cytohistologic, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural findings of the tumor are correlated.
