Abstract
To evaluate the significance of mitotic activity and apoptosis in the differential diagnosis of endocervical glandular lesions, we examined the frequency of mitoses and apoptosis in 89 endocervical glandular lesions from 78 patients, which consisted of benign reactive changes (7 cases), lobular or diffuse laminar endocervical glandular hyperplasia (4), microglandular hyperplasia (3), tunnel clusters (7), nabothian cysts (2), mesonephric remnants (3), tubal metaplasia (3), endocervical glandular dysplasias (including atypical tubal metaplasia) (EGD) (7), adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) (31), microinvasive adenocarcinoma (7), frankly invasive adenocarcinoma (12), and minimal deviation adenocarcinoma (3). Mitotic index (MI; mitotic figures per 1000 cells) was significantly higher in AIS, microinvasive adenocarcinoma, and frankly invasive adenocarcinoma than any other lesions examined. Microinvasive adenocarcinoma showed the highest MI. Apoptosis was detected consistently and frequently in AIS, microinvasive adenocarcinoma, and frankly invasive adenocarcinoma. AIS showed the highest apoptotic index (AI; apoptoses per 1000 cells). Frequent apoptotic bodies and mitotic figures are a common feature of endocervical glandular malignancies ...Continue Reading
