Atlas Interpretation:
Type of Preparation: SurePath/ LBP
Magnification: High
Clinical History: 21 year old woman
Interpretation:
NILM: Endocervical cells
Cytomorphologic Criteria: Dissociated endocervical cells with tall columnar shape and bland nuclei. Interpretation is NILM.
Explanatory Notes: Dissociation is more frequent in liquid based preparations than in conventional slides. The presence of endocervical cells indicates that the transformation zone has been sampled (a minimum of 10 well-preserved endocervical or metaplastic cells is required; they do not need to be in groups).
