Atlas Interpretation:
Type of Preparation: SurePath/ LBP
Magnification: High
Clinical History: 50 year old female receiving hormone therapy. No symptoms of bleeding
Interpretation:
Endometrial cells are present in a woman >= 40 years of age.
Negative for squamous intraepithelial lesion. (See Note). Note: Endometrial cells after age 40, particularly out of phase or after menopause may be associated with benign endometrium, hormonal alterations and less commonly, endometrial /uterine abnormalities. Clinical correlation is recommended.
Cytomorphologic Criteria: Endometrial glandular group "above" the squamous cell plane of focus. Apoptotic cell centrally. A single vacuolated cell at group edge. The endometrial cell nuclei are the same size as the intermediate squamous cell nucleus.
Explanatory Notes: Endometrial glandular cells are reported in women of 40 years or older because of the association of asymptomatic endometrial carcinoma in a small number of patients.
Follow-up: None available
