Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to determine the accuracy of routinely screened cervical smears to predict a glandular cell lesion in histologically confirmed cases of cervical adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), invasive adenocarcinoma (ADCA), adenosquamous carcinoma (ADSQCA), and severe combined glandular and squamous cell lesions. Between 1989-2000, a total of 1,141 women with a histologic diagnosis of cervical AIS, ADCA, ADSQCA, and combined lesions (glandular cell lesion with a coexistent squamous cell lesion) were registered in the Dutch National Pathology Archive (PALGA). In 1054 of these 1,141 histologic cases, an additional conventional Papanicolaou (Pap) smear diagnosis was registered from the same patient. Material was evaluated with regard to the accuracy of cytologic diagnosis, the percentage of combined lesions, the mean age of the patients, and the time interval between AIS and ADCA. Of 1,141 registered histologic cases, 57.5% were registered as having an "intraepithelial" lesion, whereas 42.5% were registered as having an "invasive" process. A combined process was diagnosed in 63.2% of cases. From the same patients, a cytologic diagnosis of a severe cervical epithelial lesion was registered in PALGA for 91.2% (n ...Continue Reading
