Abstract EN
The indicated clinical evaluation of atypical squamous cells demonstrated on Papanicolaou (Pap) smear has been determined.
Although several reports and opinions suggest that these cells are of no particular significances, other studies have noted these cells in instances of advanced cervical dysplasia.
The Objective of the present study was to determine the prevalence of dysplasia inl06 patients with recent Pap smear demonstrating atypical squamous cell .
the study was conducted during the period 1998-2002 in the Gynecologic Clinic at Hilla Hospitals and Department of Pathology, Babylon University, Babylon, IRAQ.
Abnormal colposopy was present in 59 (55%).In 21 (36%) of the 59 patients, dysplasia was confirmed histologically.
Statistical significance was present in each of the groups with tissue sampling (atypical and immature squamous metaplasia, koilocytotic atypia, and dysplasia) when ages were compared with the patients having normal colposcopy..
Pap smear is a significant indicator of cervical pathology.
Although this Pap smear may not be regarded as dysplasia, neither should be ignored.
Colposcopy and biopsy of any abnormality is recommended in all these patients.
Two distinct patterns of initial detection of cervical dysplasia were apparent.
It is concluded that the atypical squamous cell Pap smear is a significant indicator of cervical pathology.
Although this atypical Pap smear may not be regarded as dysplasia, neither should be ignored.
Colposcopy and biopsy of any abnormality is recommended in all these patients.
