==Endocervical adenocarcinoma in situ== | |||
*[[AKA]] ''adenocarcinoma in situ'', abbreviated ''AIS''. | |||
===General=== | |||
*Usually to [[HPV]]. | |||
*May be found together with squamous neoplasias of the cervix. | |||
*AIS of the cervix is much less common than squamous dysplasia of the cervix/SCC of the cervix. | |||
===Microscopic=== | |||
Features: | |||
*Nuclear changes - '''key feature''': | |||
**Nuclear crowding. | |||
**Nuclear hyperchromasia. | |||
**Cigar-shaped nuclei. | |||
*+/-Mitoses. | |||
*Cytoplasmic hyperchromasia. | |||
