Rhabdoid tumors are an uncommon group of neoplasms which share a distinctive morphology. We report the cytologic and histologic findings of a uterine rhabdoid tumor. The presence of rhabdoid cells on a cervical Papanicolaou (Pap) smear raises an intriguing differential diagnosis. Cytologists should be aware of this entity and consider rhabdoid tumor in the differential diagnosis when single malignant cells are noted on cervical Pap smear. © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
