UTERINE ENDOCERVIX, CURETTAGE:
- MICROGLANDULAR HYPERPLASIA.
- SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM WITH REACTIVE CHANGES AND METAPLASTIC CHANGES.
</pre>
 
====Micro====
The sections show gland forming epithelium without nuclear atypia (no nuclear membrane
irregularities, no coarse chromatin). The nuclei are less than 2x the size of a neutrophil,
regularly spaced, pale staining and have small regular nucleoli visible with the 20x
objective. No mitotic activity is apparent.
 
Fragments of reactive squamous epithelium with metaplastic changes are present. Benign
superficial squamous epithelium is identified.
