Background: The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the histologic results of biopsy in women with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) cytologic diagnosis. Materials and Methods: We reviewed a series of cases with ASCUS pap smears from March 1999 to Feb 2002 in Imam Khomeini Hospital (n= 104), Who had cervical biopsy indirected colposcopy (103) and in Onec endocerv...
متن کاملShould atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) be subcategorized? Accuracy analysis of Papanicolaou smears using receiver operating characteristic curves and implications for the ASCUS/squamous intraepithelial lesion ratio.
We correlated all Papanicolaou test diagnoses over a 6-month period with biopsy results and determined accuracy using receiver operating characteristic curves and biopsy as the "gold standard." Accuracies were calculated using all atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) cases or by eliminating subsets thereof. Retaining the ASCUS category resulted in significantly greater a...

OBJECTIVE To increase the accuracy of the diagnosis of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US), ASC-US were divided into high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV HR+) and non-high-risk HPV (HPV HR-) cases to analyze the significance of binucleated cells with compression. STUDY DESIGN ThinPrep specimens of ASC-US were examined. This study included 21 CIN and HPV HR+ (CIN+), 19...

although the diagnostic category of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ascus) has been known since 1988, its use and appropriate clinical follow up and management still remains controversial. this study was carried out to evaluate the diagnostic value of ascus, using cytohistologic correlation. a retrospective review of archival materials in our cytology laboratory files was ...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Atypical Squamous Cells of Undetermined Significance in Pap Smears Followed by Biopsy Results for Determination of Reliable Cytologic Parameters
Background and Objective: Microscopic evaluation of cervicovaginal smears (Pap smear) plays an essential role in detection of preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions of uterine cervix. A wide spectrum of changes is seen in Pap smears. Interpretation of intermediate changes which resulting in observation of so- called ASCUS is difficult. ASCUS is defined as a cellular change that is more marked ...
