Uterine prolapse is a frequent benign pathology of the uterus and a common reason for hysterectomy.

General

  • Clinical diagnosis.
  • A common indication for a total hysterectomy.
  • Hysterectomy specimen usually comes with some vaginal mucosa.
  • Parous women, usually menopausal.[1]
  • Possibly obesity - studies vary.[2]

Gross

  • Long cervix.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Uterus: non-specific.
  • Vaginal mucosa: (focal) keratinization due to rubbing - common finding.

Note:

  • Benign stromal atypia may be seen.[3][4]

Images

  • Keratinized cervix - intermed. mag. (WC)

  • Keratinized cervix - high mag. (WC)

  • Keratinized cervix - very high mag. (WC)

UTERUS AND CERVIX, TOTAL HYSTERECTOMY:
- UTERINE CERVIX WITH FOCAL KERATINIZATION OTHERWISE WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.
- NONPROLIFERATIVE ENDOMETRIUM.

UTERUS AND CERVIX, TOTAL HYSTERECTOMY:
- UTERINE CERVIX WITH KERATINIZATION, OTHERWISE WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.
- CYSTIC NONPROLIFERATIVE ENDOMETRIUM.
- UTERINE SMOOTH MUSCLE AND SEROSA WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.
- NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.

Denudated exocervix

UTERUS AND CERVIX, TOTAL HYSTERECTOMY:
- UTERINE CERVIX WITH MILD CHRONIC INFLAMMATION AND EXOCERVICAL DENUDATION,
  NO EVIDENCE OF DYSPLASIA.
- CYSTIC NONPROLIFERATIVE ENDOMETRIUM.
- UTERINE CORPUS WITH BENIGN HYALINIZED NODULE.
- NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.

COMMENT:
Levels were cut on the uterine cervix sections (A1 and A2).

Focal ulceration

- UTERINE CERVIX WITH PARAKERATOSIS, ACANTHOSIS, CHRONIC INFLAMMATION, AND FOCAL
  ULCERATION ASSOCIATED WITH GRANULATION TISSUE FORMATION.
- PARTIALLY CYSTIC NONPROLIFERATIVE ENDOMETRIUM.
- UTERINE CORPUS WITH LEIOMYOMA.
- NO EVIDENCE OF DYSPLASIA.
- NEGATIVE FOR HYPERPLASIA AND NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.

With endometrial polyp

UTERUS AND CERVIX, TOTAL HYSTERECTOMY:
- BENIGN ENDOMETRIAL POLYP WITH NONPROLIFERATIVE ENDOMETRIAL GLANDS.
- UTERINE CERVIX WITH MILD CHRONIC INFLAMMATION AND FOCAL EXOCERVICAL DENUDATION,
  NO EVIDENCE OF DYSPLASIA.
- VERY WEAKLY PROLIFERATIVE ENDOMETRIUM, MOSTLY ATROPHIC APPEARING, NEGATIVE FOR
  ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA.
- UTERINE CORPUS WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.
- NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
