Adequacy
Should always be stated, either as "Satisfactory" or "Unsatisfactory".
Also state whether the endocervical/transformation zone is present or absent. Count an endocervical component as present if there are 10 or more endocervical or squamous metaplastic cells.[1]
Very common findings
-
Bacterial flora (usually rod-shaped Lactobacilli), does not need reporting
Main conditions to exclude or confirm
Squamous atypia, seen mainly as cells with increased nucleus/cytoplasm ratio, nuclear hyperchromasia and irregular nuclear outline.
-
Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS), with only few slightly atypical cells
-
Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL)
-
High-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL)
