- 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.

===Microscopic===
Features:
*Squamous differentiation.
**+/-Intracellular bridges.
**Scant-to-moderate cytoplasm.
*Penetration of basement membrane.
**May be challenging to determine.
*Nuclear atypia.
 
SCC of the cervix versus CIN III:
Invasive cancer look for:
*Eosinophilia.
*Extra large nuclei, i.e. nuclei 5x normal size.
*Stromal inflammation (lymphocytes, plasma cells).
*Long rete ridges.
*Numerous beeds/blobs of epithelial cells that seem unlikely to be rete ridges.
*[[Desmoplastic stroma]] - increased cellularity, spindle cell morphology.
 
DDx:
* [[Squamous metaplasia of the uterine cervix]] - if you can trace the squamous cells from a gland to the surface it is less likely to be invasive cancer.<ref>[http://www.nature.com/modpathol/journal/v15/n3/pdf/3880520a.pdf http://www.nature.com/modpathol/journal/v15/n3/pdf/3880520a.pdf]</ref>

#Well-differentiated (keratinizing).
#Moderately differentiated (nonkeratinizing).
#Poorly differentiated.
 
====Depth measurement====
*Basement membrane (where it invades) to deepest point.
 
Note:
*Stage Ib - clinical diagnosis.
**Definition of stage Ib: clinically visible.
=====FIGO=====
Microinvasive SCC as per FIGO:
*Depth < 5 mm.
*Width < 7 mm.
*+/-Vascular invasion.
 
=====SGO=====
Microinvasive SCC as per The Society of Gynecologic Oncologists (SGO):
*<= 3 mm.
*Negative for [[vascular invasion]].
 
Note:
*The SGO criteria the prefered by North American gynecologists.
 
===IHC===
*Factor VIII - to look for LVI.

Early invasive SCC - things to report:
*Depth of invasion.

===General===
{{Main|Adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix}}
*Adenocarcinoma of the cervix is much less common than squamous dysplasia of the cervix/SCC of the cervix.
*Arises from the endocervical glands.
 
===Microscopic===
Features:
*Stromal changes - "[[desmoplastic stroma]]/[[desmoplastic reaction]]".
**Fibrosis/streaming cells.
*Gland fusion.
*Glands too deep -- very fuzzy criterion.
 
Notes:
*AIS changes - similar to [[colon|colonic]] dysplasia.
*AIS may occur together with CIN.
**Not infrequently they (AIS, CIN) occur together - both are due, indirectly, to HPV infection.
*May be difficult to be certain of invasion.
**A feature suggestive of invasion is ''cytoplasmic eosinophilia''.
 
DDx:
*[[Microglandular hyperplasia]] - [[NC ratio]] normal, no nuclear atypia.
*[[Endocervical adenocarcinoma in situ]].
