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. | |||
