The clinicopathological features of patients with cervical atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance in Guangxi district
Abstract：Objective To compare the histological diagnosis results of the cervical atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance( ASCUS) in liquid based cytology in Guangxi district, looking for a reasonable management for the ASCUS patients.Methods The clinicopathological data of 237 cases of ASCUS with histological diagnosis were studied.Results Clinically, the age of 237 patients were ranged from 19 to 67 years old, the median age was 41 years, 48 cases of them were postmenopausal women, 94%(223 cases) of the patients were asymptoms.Gyneco-logical examination found that 46%(108 cases) of them had smooth cervix, 44%(105 cases) had cervical erosion, and 10%(23 cases) had cervical hypertrophy.The histological diagnosis showed that cervical chronic inflammation with squamous epithelial hyperplasia and cervical chronic inflammation with glandular epithelial metaplasia was found in 121cases(51.05%), cervical condyloma in 31 cases(13.08%), CINⅠ in 54 cases(22.78%), CINⅡ and Ⅲin 28 cases(11.80%), and carcinoma in 3 cases(1.30%).Conclusion Most of the ASCUS patients in Guangxi district are asymptoms.Colposcopy examination may be offered in ASCUS patients, and biopsy should be done at the same time when high-grade CIN or tumor are suspected, in order to find high-grade cervical precancerous lesions and cancer timely.
