Cytomorphologic Features of Gastric-Type Endocervical Adenocarcinoma in Liquid-Based Preparations

Conclusions: GAS is under-recognized and may mimic reactive endocervical cells. Awareness of the tumor type and its cytomorphology is critical for early detection. Identification of glandular cells with uniform nuclear enlargement in conjunction with any of the other cytologic features may help avoid false-negative Pap results. Neutrophils may serve as convenient size reference and visual aid.Acta Cytologica
