Histopathological correlation of squamous cell abnormalities detected on cervical cytology

Abstract

As the grade of cytopathological result increases, the correlation between biopsy and the smear test also increases. The high sensitivity of the cervical smear test for high-grade lesions shows that it is an effective screening test.

Cytohistopathological correlation of Papanicolaou smears: a hospital based study

“…15 Alwahaibi et al shows false positive in 32.2% while Abali R et al show 43.0% false positives. 16,17 In the present study, the 6 cases of false positive smears (15.7%) were also reexamined. 4 were diagnosed as LSIL, 1 as ASCUS and 1 as HSIL.…”

Cytohistological correlation and discrepancy of conventional Papanicolaou smear test with corresponding histopathology: a retrospective study over a 5-year period

“…As an alternative, the cytohistological correlation and discrepancy of Pap testing were measured. Many studies too have measured the accuracy of the Pap test using the same method (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). We report 63.2% and 36.8% for the cytohistological correlation and discrepancy of Pap smears respectively.…”

“…In our department, Pap smears are first screened by a cytotechnologist and if an abnormal smear is found then the histopathologist evaluates the smear. This procedure is applied worldwide (15,25).…”

“…[17] The prevalence of the non-neoplastic group histologically was 56.9%. [17] The prevalence of CIN2 is lower and CIN3 is higher than the present study.…”
