Interpretation:
HSIL in Mucus Strand
Cytomorphologic Criteria:
Isolated HSIL cells in a stream of mucus (lower power in upper right inset). The pattern of HSIL cells streaming within mucus can mimic histiocytes and endocervical/ metaplastic cells. At high power, HSIL can be readily distinguished from benign cellular elements.
Explanatory Notes:
This is a pattern that is important to be aware of to avoid false negatives.
