Uterus, Cervix and Vagina Mucosa, Total Hysterectomy: | |||
- Uterine cervix with focal keratinization, otherwise within normal limits. | |||
- Inactive endometrium. | |||
- Squamous mucosa with keratinization, consistent with prolapse-associated | |||
changes in the vagina. | |||
- Medial calcific sclerosis. | |||
- Atherosclerosis, moderate-to-severe. | |||

Submitted as "Uterine Cervix", Excision: | |||
- Squamous mucosa with hyperplasia, parakeratosis, and stromal atypia, see comment. | |||
- NEGATIVE for dysplasia and NEGATIVE for evidence of malignancy. | |||
Comment: | |||
The stromal atypia is favoured to be benign change, as it is without significant proliferation, | |||
not mass forming and near the stromal-epithelial interface. | |||
The stromal cells stain as follows: | |||
POSITIVE: vimentin, ER. | |||
NEGATIVE: AE1/AE3, CD10. | |||
PROLIFERATION (Ki-67): <1%. | |||
