Prospective Correlation of Cervicovaginal Cytologic and Histologic Specimens

Interobserver variability in human papillomavirus test results in cervicovaginal cytologic specimens interpreted as atypical squamous cells.

We studied interobserver variability in the proportions of human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive results for atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) and atypical squamous cells, cannot exclude high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (ASC-H) diagnoses among 5 pathologists from the me laboratory during a 2-year period. These proportions were compared with individual patholog...

Cytologic and histologic correlation of atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance.

To determine the cytologic and histologic correlation of atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance (AGUS) in Papanicolaou smears, a cytology file from January 1998 to May 1999 was reviewed. Surgical pathology files were searched to determine which patients received subsequent biopsies. One hundred thirty-two patients with AGUS were identified. Corresponding biopsies were available f...

Infiltrating myoepithelial carcinoma of the breast, a case report and cytologic-histologic correlation

INTRODUCTION Infiltrating myoepithelial carcinoma remains a rarely encountered lesion of the breast. The few cases that have surfaced firmly document the histopathology of this tumor, but its cytologic characteristics seemingly have been described in only one other report. CASE PRESENTATION Here we present the cytologic findings from a case of infiltrating myoepithelial carcinoma of the breas...

Identification and correlation of cytologic criteria to histologic grade in canine cutaneous mast cell tumors

Cytologic, histologic, and ultrastructural characteristics of a canine myxoid liposarcoma.

Congenital aplasia and hypoplasia of the optic nerves are rarely seen in human beings4 and an imak6 Similar conditions occur infrequently in but no detailed description of the condition has been given, except for the Bmn-wys strain of rat. Bmn-wys rats are animal models of inherited retinal degeneration; aplasia or hypoplasia of the optic nerve occurs in association with microphthalmosI0 in the...
