Cytological aspects of uterine cervical adenocarcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma and combined adenocarcinoma-squamous carcinoma: appraisal of diagnostic criteria for in situ versus invasive lesions
This paper reports the cytological findings based on air-dried smears in a retrospective series of 143 cases of endocervical adenocarcinoma, combined adenocarcinoma-squamous carcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma drawn from the files of the BC Cancer Registry. Cervical cytology smears were available before biopsy in 131 patients, but in 18 cases the cytology showed no abnormality. Malignant changes or high-grade atypia of glandular and/or squamous cells (defined as moderate or severe dyskaryosis) were detected in 103 cases. In 46 cases, only a high-grade squamous abnormality was detected. Low-grade glandular and/or squamous lesions were detected in nine cases and one showed atypical endometrial-type glands. The cervical smears of 64 cases were reviewed in detail to determine the important cytomorphological criteria of in situ and invasive adenocarcinoma in air-dried smears, the technique used for preparing PAP smears in British Columbia. Endocervical cells were absent in four cases. Numerous (>10) groups of glandular cells were present in 51 cases. Important clues to the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma included crowding of nuclei, stratification of nuclei, loss of polarity, syncytial balls and papillary groups of glandular cells, nuclear enlargement, nuclear pleomorphism, and the presence of free-lying atypical glandular cells. Nuclear hyperchromatism, chromatin pattern, nuclear borders, nuclear membranes, and numbers and morphology of nucleoli were not helpful criteria in our material. Criteria enabling reliable distinction between in situ and invasive adenocarcinoma and/or mixed adenocarcinoma-squamous carcinoma could not be established. 相似文献

M. Uke, B. Rekhi, D. Ajit and N. A. Jambhekar The use of p63 as an effective immunomarker in the diagnosis of pulmonary squamous cell carcinomas on de‐stained bronchial lavage cytological smears Objectives: A diagnosis in pulmonary onco‐cytopathology primarily necessitates distinguishing small cell carcinoma (SCLC) from non‐small cell carcinoma (NSCLC), which includes squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Lately, p63 antibody has been used for distinguishing squamous cell carcinoma from SCLC and adenocarcinoma. We present an analysis of p63 expression in cytological smears from 100 bronchial lavage specimens comprising 51 cases of SCLC and 49 cases of NSCLC. Methods: A single Papanicolaou‐stained conventional smear was de‐stained and re‐fixed with cold acetone and methanol for immunocytochemical staining with p63 antibody. Staining results were graded as 0 (nil), 1+ (focal), 2+ (moderate, diffuse) and 3+ (strong, diffuse). Results: Out of 100 cases, 21 were cytologically diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma. Twenty of these showed 2+ or 3+ p63 positivity, whereas one, which was adenocarcinoma on histology, showed 1+ staining. Of seven cases cytologically diagnosed as adenocarcinoma, six showed no p63 staining, whereas one, which was squamous cell carcinoma on histology, showed 1+ staining. All 48 cases cytologically diagnosed as SCLC were confirmed as such on histology and showed no p63 staining. Four cases were cytologically designated as poorly differentiated carcinomas, of which three showed no p63 staining and one showed 3+ staining. The former three were found to be SCLC on histology while the latter was squamous cell carcinoma. The remaining 20 cases were cytologically designated as NSCLC. Of these, eight showed no p63 staining, whereas 10 showed 1+ and two showed 2+ staining. The former eight were adenocarcinoma on histology and the latter two were squamous cell carcinoma. The 10 cases that showed 1+ p63 staining were adenocarcinomas (n = 5), squamous cell carcinoma (n = 4) and NSCLC, not otherwise specified (n = 1). Positive staining was seen in normal basal cells, which acted as an internal control. Overall sensitivity of p63 for squamous cell carcinoma was 100% and specificity was 90.4%. Conclusions: p63 immunostaining on processed cytology smears can be used to help identify squamous cell carcinoma. Its diffuse expression was specific for squamous cell carcinoma while focal staining was also seen in adenocarcinoma. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine the cytologic features that are most helpful in characterizing significant glandular lesions of the cervix observed on the ThinPrep (TP) Pap test (Cytyc Corp., Boxborough, Massachusetts, U.S.A.) and to compare these features with those published for conventional smears. STUDY DESIGN: Thirty-nine TP preparations with cytologic evidence of glandular lesions of the cervix and histologic and/or clinical correlation were studied. These lesions included (1) 11 cases of benign/reactive conditions; (2) 10 cases of adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), of which 1 had both AIS and carcinoma in situ; (3) 1 case of invasive adenocarcinoma; (4) 15 cases of squamous intraepithelial lesions and squamous cell carcinoma, including 4 with glandular involvement, and (5) 2 cases of adenosquamous cell carcinoma. These cases were reviewed by the first author without knowledge of the histologic diagnosis. Twenty-five previously published cytologic criteria were used to evaluate glandular cells on TP slides. Statistical analysis was performed using Fisher's exact test to determine the significance of the features studied. RESULTS: All glandular lesions had cytologic features on TP similar to those previously described on conventional smears. However, TP slides demonstrated enhanced nuclear features but less-preserved architectural patterns. Reactive lesions showed minimal overlapping without hyperchromasia or mitotic figures and with normal nuclear/cytoplasmic ratios. AIS and invasive adenocarcinoma cases had similar features. Increased cellularity and overcrowding were prominent, whereas feathering, rosettes and cell strips were present but subtle. CONCLUSION: Glandular lesions of the cervix on TP slides shared many of the characteristic features reported for conventional smears. However, nuclear details were more pronounced in TP slides, while architectural patterns, although present, were relatively subtle. 相似文献

Because metaplastic carcinoma of the breast encompasses a great variety of histopathology, diagnostic challenges abound, especially within the realm of cytology. The authors compiled and studied an eight-case series comprised of metaplastic breast carcinomas and lesions initially suspicious cytologically for metaplastic carcinoma in order to assess the degree of cytologic-histologic correlation and to identify recurring problematic themes surrounding the cytology-based diagnosis of this neoplasm. The cytologic and histologic slides from eight cases suspicious for metaplastic breast carcinoma diagnosed by fine needle aspiration (FNA) were collected and analyzed through a seven-year retrospective search of case files at our institution. Based on cytologic characteristics, the cases were separated into three groups. Group 1 consisted of three cases presenting with poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and squamoid components on FNA. Group 2 was composed of two cases that featured a monophasic, malignant ductal cell population on cytology, while the cytologic specimens for the third group of cases presented with a mesenchymal component with or without a malignant glandular constituent. Cytologic-histologic correlation was present in two of three cases demonstrating a mesenchymal component, and there was 100% sensitivity in the cytologic detection of those mesenchymal elements. However, in only one of three cases was there an accurate cytologic diagnosis of metaplastic carcinoma when squamoid changes were present on FNA. Both cases demonstrating only malignant glandular elements on cytologic specimens revealed an additional component of malignant squamous differentiation upon the examination of mastectomy-derived tissue. These results indicate that squamous-like changes identified on FNA should be interpreted with caution and that sampling error remains a problematic recurrence in cytology. Regardless, there appears to be promise concerning the accurate cytologic diagnosis of metaplastic carcinoma when the lesion is characterized by a mesenchymal component. A study implementing a larger case number is essential in determining the significance of these findings. 相似文献

Objective: To identify in cytology, high‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesions with endocervical glandular extension in cases previously diagnosed as atypical glandular cells (AGC), analyse possible reasons for the diagnostic pitfall and document the frequency of glandular pathology coexisting with high‐grade cervical intraepithelial lesion in histology. Methods: Thirty‐nine ThinPrep® cervical smear (Pap) tests reported as AGC of undetermined significance and showing high‐grade lesions on histology [cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2 or 3, endometrial or extrauterine adenocarcinoma] were reviewed retrospectively to identify the cases of high‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesion with endocervical glandular extension, using the Bethesda 2001 system. Cyto‐histological correlation was performed. Results: A high frequency of diverse glandular pathologies coexisted with high‐grade cervical intraepithelial lesions on histology. This included endocervical glandular extension in 63%, benign glandular pathology in 33% and pre‐neoplastic or malignant glandular pathology (endocervical glandular dysplasia, adenocarcinoma in situ and metastatic breast carcinoma) in 17% cases. On cytology, the sensitivity was 40%, specificity was 80% and positive predictive value was 86% for endocervical gland extension in high‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesions. Conclusions: Special efforts to recognize endocervical glandular extension in high‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesions and glandular neoplasia coexisting with squamous intraepithelial lesions from the heterogeneous category of AGC can contribute to increasing the diagnostic accuracy. The identification of endocervical glandular extension on cervical cytology would alert the gynaecologist to perform a thorough assessment of the endocervix during colposcopy. This could also help to decide on the need to perform deeper conization rather than loop electrosurgical excision procedure to ensure negative margins when colposcopic biopsy shows CIN 2 or 3. 相似文献

The cytologic findings in 13 endoscopic brushing specimens from biopsy-proven premalignant glandular lesions (PGLs) of the upper gastrointestinal tract were reviewed retrospectively. The specimens were from ten patients: three with dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus, four with gastric adenomas and three with duodenal adenomas. One dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus and four adenomas (two gastric and two duodenal) had coexisting adenocarcinomas. Most pure PGLs were characterized cytologically by cohesive three-dimensional clusters of cells with more-or-less uniformly enlarged nuclei and an increased nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio. Crowding and molding were present within these clusters; however, the cells were arranged in a somewhat orderly or palisading fashion, instead of entirely haphazardly. In cases of carcinoma coexisting with adenoma or dysplasia, the atypical cells tended to be more pleomorphic and dyshesive. In one specimen from an adenocarcinoma arising in an adenoma, the adenomatous and carcinomatous components could be distinguished cytologically. 相似文献

We report on 162 cases of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection of the cervix seen in a two-year period in which the cell sample showed such marked atypia that errors of interpretation could easily have been made. These atypical condylomata are difficult to diagnose cytologically as well as histologically because they mimic dysplasia or carcinoma in situ and, on smears, even invasive squamous carcinoma. HPV particles associated with fibrillar material were found within nuclei of these lesions; their nature was further proved by the immunoperoxidase test. This new form of HPV infection of the cervix showed a 9.1% rate of progression to more advanced cervical lesions. The cytologic finding of atypical condylomata is an indication for colposcopy, confirmative biopsy and appropriate treatment. 相似文献

E. K. J. Risse, J. P. Holierhoek, E. M. Meijer‐Marres, E. Ouwerkerk‐Noordam and M. E. Boon Increased diagnostic accuracy of atypical glandular cells in cervical liquid‐based cytology using cell blocks Objective: The purpose of this study was to reduce the number of diagnoses of atypical glandular cells (AGC). Residual material from the cervical ThinPrep® samples (Hologic, Marlboruogh, MA, USA) was used for cell blocks (CB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Methods: In 2007 there were 87 patients (0.12% of tests) with AGC on liquid‐based cytology (LBC) in the Leiden Cytology and Pathology Laboratory (LCPL) using the Bethesda System 2001 (TBS). CB with IHC was used for 26 of these cases. The vials still containing the brush (Cervex‐Brush® Combi) were placed in a shaker for 10 minutes to dislodge the material trapped between the bristles. The residual sampling fluid was used to prepare paraffin sections (Shandon Cytoblock®) stained with Papanicolaou and immunostaining. Results: Four of five cases with AGC not otherwise specified (NOS) were diagnosed with CB/IHC as benign mimics (endometrium, tubal metaplasia, follicular cervicitis, microglandular hyperplasia) and one of four with AGC‐favour neoplasia (FN) (endocervical polyp). In one of five cases with AGC‐NOS and in two of seven with AGC‐FN, CIN3 was found on subsequent histological biopsy. Of six cases diagnosed as adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) on LBC with CB/IHC the diagnosis was confirmed in four; one was adenocarcinoma and one glandular atypia. Of eight cases diagnosed as adenocarcinoma on cytology and CB/IHC, the diagnosis was confirmed in three. The other five cases were found to be one each of AIS, squamous cell carcinoma, CIN3, CIN2 with glandular atypia, and cervical endometriosis. Conclusions: By reducing the number of benign mimics of AGC, we achieved a high proportion (16/26; 61.5%) of neoplastic or preneoplastic lesions (glandular or squamous) on histological outcome potentially avoiding colposcopy. Histological biopsy verification by the gynaecologist is needed for final diagnosis of AGC‐FN, AIS and adenocarcinoma. 相似文献

Human leucocyte antigen (HLA)‐G has seven isoforms, of which HLA‐G1‐G4 are membrane‐bound and HLA‐G5‐G7 are soluble. Previous studies reinforced HLA‐G expression was strongly related to poor prognosis in different types of cancers. Among these studies, the monoclonal antibody (mAb) 4H84 was used which detects all HLA‐G isoform heavy chain; unfortunately, leaves the specific types of isoforms expressed in lesions undistinguished and its clinical significance needs to be clarified. To explore clinical significance of lesion soluble HLA‐G (sHLA‐G) in non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC), mAb 5A6G7 recognizing HLA‐G5/‐G6 molecules was used. Tumour cell sHLA‐G expression in 131 primary NSCLC lesions (66 squamous cell carcinoma, 55 adenocarcinoma and 10 adenosquamous carcinoma) were analysed with immunohistochemistry. Data showed that sHLA‐G expression was observed in 34.0% (45/131) of the NSCLC lesions, which was unrelated to patient age, sex, lymph nodal status, tumour–node–metastasis stage and patient survival. However, tumour cell sHLA‐G expression in lesions was predominately observed in adenocarcinoma lesions (73.0%, 40/55) which was significantly higher than that in squamous cell carcinoma (6.0%, 4/66) and adenosquamous carcinoma lesions (10.0%, 1/10, P < 0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for lesion sHLA‐G was 0.833 (95% CI: 0.754–0.912, P < 0.001) for adenocarcinoma versus squamous cell carcinoma. Our findings for the first time showed that tumour cell sHLA‐G was predominately expressed in lung adenocarcinoma, which could be a useful biomarker to discriminate adenocarcinoma from squamous cell carcinoma in NSCLC patients. 相似文献

The cytologic findings in two adenoid cystic and three mucoepidermoid carcinomas of the bronchial tree are reported. In one case of adenoid cystic carcinoma, the diagnosis was made on a fragment of tumor tissue exfoliated in the patient's sputum. In the other case, brushing and aspirated materials yielded large clusters of small cells arranged around cystlike spaces containing globular basophilic mucuslike material. Fine needle aspirates from the two low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinomas showed clusters of malignant squamous cells containing mucus-secreting cells. The high-grade mucoepidermoid cancer yielded malignant squamous and glandular cells in aspirates. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To test the possibility of creating tissue microarrays of pre-malignant lesions of the cervix. STUDY DESIGN Paraffin-embedded blocks of 240 cervical tissue specimens were sampled. Lesions from benign squamous and glandular epithelium through various grades of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) to frank carcinoma of squamous and glandular origin were cored with a 0.6-mm needle and arrayed in 4 tissue blocks. Sections of these blocks were stained with hematoxylineosin (H-E) and evaluated as to adequacy of tissue cores, representativity of the material and correspondence to the original diagnosis. Immunohistochemical staining with p16 and a novel marker C4.8(4/2/#1) was performed. RESULTS: In > 80% of cases sufficient material from the lesion could be obtained. No or inadequate material was seen in 6% of cases. The core sample did not correspond to the original diagnosis in 12% of cases. The reason was mainly a discrepancy in the grade of the CIN. Discrepancies in diagnoses occurred in only premalignant lesions. Immunohistochemical staining could reliably be performed and evaluated on all tissue cores. CONCLUSION: Tissue microarrays of cervical intraepithelial lesions are technically feasible and can be created reliably. The key to success is a careful and repeated comparison of the tissue block with the corresponding H-E section. Tissue microarrays of preinvasive cervical lesions may allow high throughput analysis of emerging molecular biomarkers in cervical carcinogenesis. 相似文献

Summary The red cell adherence (RCA) test was used for demonstration of blood group isoantigens A, B and H in epithelial lesions of the oral cavity. Study of normal squamous epithelium of the oral cavity with immunofluorescence showed the possible association of blood group isoantigens with the intercellular substance and their probable accumulation in spaces between desmosomes. In 31 cases of malignant tumors, a complete absence of isoantigens was found in 27 (87%), and partial loss in 2 (6.5%); in 2 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, the epithelial cells retained the isoantigen (6.5%). The second group of 34 cases included non-neoplastic changes such as leukoplakia, hyperkeratosis, dyskeratosis, pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia, or ballooning degeneration. A complete absence of isoantigens was found in 16 cases (47%), patchy distribution in 9 cases (26.5%); the remaining 9 cases (26.5%) retained the antigens. No correlation was found between the type and degree of epithelial atypia in non-neoplastic lesions and the absence of blood group substances. The loss of isoantigens A, B and H in neoplastic, pre-neoplastic, or even some regenerative or degenerative epithelial lesions suggests an aberration in their synthesis under abnormal conditions. 相似文献

In 1975 Duke University Medical Center, a retrospective and prospective survey of respiratory cytopathologic specimens was undertaken for the ten-year period 1970 to 1979. The purpose of this study was to document the role of cytopathology in the diagnosis of lung cancer at this institution. This paper presents the results of the cytopathologic and histopathologic typing of cases of lung cancer seen at Duke University Medical Center from 1970 to 1974. During this period, 9,892 cytologic specimens from the lower respiratory tract were processed. Cytopathologic diagnoses of cancer with tissue confirmation were made on 483 specimens from 232 patients. Because original cytologic diagnoses, but not histopathologic diagnoses, had been made in conformity with a modified WHO classification of lung neoplasms, all histopathologic material was reviewed and reclassified when necessary. This was carried out by one of the authors (E.H.B.) as a blind review without benefit of knowledge of either preexisting cytopathologic or histopathologic diagnoses. Twenty-six patients were excluded from the current study because of lack of satisfactory histologic material. In 94 patients classified by histopathology as having squamous cell carcinoma, 76.4% of the positive cytologic specimens were also called squamous cell carcinoma; 18.6% were interpreted as large cell undifferentiated carcinoma. In 39 patients classified by tissue as having large cell undifferentiated carcinoma, the cytology agreed in 42.4% of the positive specimens. For the 29 patients thought histologically to have small cell undifferentiated carcinoma, the same diagnosis was rendered in 95.5% of the cytologically positive specimens from these patients. For the adenocarcinoma group of 43 patients, a cytopathologic diagnosis of adenocarcinoma was made in 67.8% of the positive specimens. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To formulate new criteria for adenoid cystic carcinoma (ADCC). STUDY DESIGN: The usefulness of 17 items for a cytologically definitive diagnosis of ADCC was examined. The frequency (- - +++) of the 17 items in 18 cases of ADCC and 10 non-ADCC cases (pleomorphic adenoma, basal cell adenoma, myoepithelioma and epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma) that displayed mimicking cytology was examined cytologically. The total score for cases of ADCC was compared with that for non-ADCC cases. RESULTS: The 17 items included broad intercellular spaces with adhesion; green, granular/cobwebby cytoplasm with translucent intercellular matrix with Papanicolaou staining; coarse hyperchromatin with little nuclear clearing; indistinct and partially distinct nucleoli; small nuclei; broad, smooth margin (SM) space; and translucent M/HG/SM. All cases with a total score of > 21 were ADCC (93.8%). All cases with a total score of < 12 were non-ADCC (87.5%). CONCLUSION: The 17 items appear to be useful as new criteria for ADCC. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: In the current study, we explore the diagnostic parameters and pitfalls in the follow-up of 123 cases of Pap smears diagnosed as high-grade atypical squamous cells (ASC-H) at our institution. STUDY DESIGN: A computer database search was performed from the archives of the Ottawa Hospital Cytopathology Service for cases diagnosed with ASC-H between January 2003 and July 2005. RESULTS: Follow-up of the 123 cases of ASC-H showed high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) in 73 patients (59.4%), low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) in 11 (8.9%), immature squamous metaplasia in 23 (18.7%), reactive squamous cell changes in 12 (9.8%), benign glandular lesions (endocervical atypia, degenerated glandular cells) in 2 (1.6%) and atrophy in 2 (1.6%). In our study, 83 patients were younger than 40 years (67.4%), with biopsy-proven HSIL found in 54 patients (65.1%). The remaining 40 patients (32.6%) were older than 40 years of age, and follow-up biopsies showed HSIL in 19 patients (47.5%). CONCLUSION: In our study, 59.4% of the cases that were diagnosed cytologically as ASC-H were found to have HSIL on subsequent biopsies. This correlation was stronger in patients below the age of 40 years (65.1% vs. 47.5%). The cytopathologic feature most strongly associated with HSIL was the presence of coarse nuclear chromatin (84%). 相似文献

The prevalence of endocervical adenocarcinoma and its precursors has increased, in part due to increased diagnostic awareness of these lesions. To date, limited information has been published regarding the predictive value of glandular abnormalities in cervical smears. This study details the histological follow up of 418 cervical smears showing glandular abnormality, reported in our department over a six year period from 1993 to 1998. Histological follow up was available for 395 of the 418 smears (94.50%). The overall positive predictive value (PPV) for this group of smears was 72.66% for either significant glandular or squamous pathology (at least low grade cervical glandular intraepithelial neoplasia or CIN2 on follow up biopsy), and 55.70% for significant glandular pathology alone. Examination of subcategories of abnormal glandular smear showed that the PPV increased with the degree of abnormality reported within the smears. 相似文献

1. Fifty-five microscopic cancer foci from 11 gastric resection preparations have been examined. Each focus than 5 mm was less in diameter. They occurred mostly in regions showing chronic atrophic gastritis, less frequently in the margin of peptic ulcer or in a polyp located in the antrum along the lesser curve. The lesions were discovered at routine histologic examination of stomachs operated upon for other primary diseases. 2. Histologically differentiated and undifferentiated types could be distinguished. They were: well differentiated adenocarcinoma, tubular adenocarcinoma, "intraluminal papillary proliferation of the glandular neck", "glandular neck displasia" mucocellular and muconodular carcinoma, and carcinoma in situ. In some cases, different histologic types within the same focus, or more foci of diverse structure in the same patient could be observed. 3. A malignant process developing from the glandular neck region or the surface epithelium could be demonstrated in each type of initial cancer. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To review the cytologic features and follow-up histologic findings in atrophic cervicovaginal smears with the diagnoses of glandular or squamous atypia or intraepithelial lesion. STUDY DESIGN: A total of 228 cases were included in the study. The selection criteria included: age > 48 years and a diagnosis of either atypical glandular cells (AGC) (51 cases), cellular changes suggestive of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection (S/O HPV, 97 cases), low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) (60 cases) or high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) (20 cases). Follow-up biopsy information was available for 103 cases (45%). RESULTS: From the AGC group, 35 (69%) cases had tissue studies; 14 (40%) cases showed glandular lesions; 5 (14%) showed squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) and atypical cells. Follow-up information was available for 32 (33%) cases classified as S/O HPV; significant lesions (glandular/squamous) were found in 11 (34%). In the LSIL category, 22 (37%) cases had follow-up; 16 (73%) showed SIL. In the HSIL category, 14 cases (70%) underwent biopsy, and all showed SIL (four LSIL and nine HSIL) or squamous cell carcinoma. CONCLUSION: Even though atrophy-related epithelial changes often pose diagnostic difficulties in the interpretation of postmenopausal smears, application of reproducible and established cytologic criteria in diagnosing SIL and/or glandular lesions can improve diagnostic accuracy and result in selection of patients for follow-up tissue studies. 相似文献

DNA-cytometric diagnosis of prospective malignancy in borderline lesions of the uterine cervix 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Interactive DNA cytometry was used for the diagnosis of prospective malignancy in 48 smears with borderline lesions (mild and moderate dysplasias) of the uterine cervix. In addition, 183 smears with benign squamous epithelia, 38 with carcinoma in situ and 7 with invasive squamous carcinoma were also measured. Nuclear Feulgen-DNA measurements were performed using various methods, and the resulting data were analyzed by an algorithm for a DNA-cytophotometric diagnosis of malignancy. The results were compared with the data on follow-up and subsequent histologic studies in these cases. There was no false-positive diagnosis in the 183 benign smears and only 1 false-negative diagnosis in the 76 histologically proven squamous-cell carcinomas, which yields a specificity of 100% and a sensitivity of 98.6%. The sensitivity for the detection of subsequent histologically proven malignancy in cases with cytologically mild or moderate dysplasia amounted to 97%. In 13 borderline cases, there was a mean interval of 21 months between the taking of the cytologic smear on which the DNA diagnosis of malignancy was made and the date on which the histologic confirmation of malignancy was made. In 17% of the cytologically dysplastic cases, the DNA diagnosis of malignancy was not verified by subsequent histologic investigation. These results indicate that interactive DNA cytometry is able to detect prospective malignancy in smears from borderline lesions of the uterine cervix with a high sensitivity. 相似文献
