UTERINE CERVIX, LOOP ELECTROSURGICAL EXCISION PROCEDURE (LEEP): - ACUTE AND CHRONIC CERVICITIS. - BENIGN SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM, METAPLASTIC SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM, AND BENIGN ENDOCERVICAL GLANDS. - NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA AND NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY, SEE COMMENT. B. UTERINE ENDOCERVIX, CURETTAGE: - ENDOCERVICAL MUCOSA AND STRIPPED ENDOCERVICAL EPITHELIUM WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. - BENIGN SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM. - NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA. COMMENT: Levels were cut (x3) on all blocks. The blocks were flipped and an additional set of levels were cut on all blocks. A p16 immunostain was done on A1. It does not demonstrate high-grade dysplasia. The previous pathology was partially reviewed, and there is no significant disagreement.
