A. 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.
