Type of Preparation: SurePath/ LBP Magnification: High Clinical History: 54 year old female. No history available 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: Cohesive, three dimensional group. Cells appear "above" the squamous plane of focus. Small nuclei (compare to intermediate cell nucleus.) Uniform size of nuclei. Cytoplasmic vacuoles are present. Explanatory Notes: Endometrial cells are reported in women 40 and over due to the association of asymptomatic endometrial cancer in rare instances.
