Secondary Prevention of Cervical Cancer

Class V – Cancer

Class V-p

Squamous cell carcinoma.

Example of class V-p:

Eosinophilic squamous epithelial tumor cells with marked pleomorphism, anisokaryosis, hyperchromasia, and a dirty background in a 65-year-old patient. Colposcopic examination showed an atypical transformation zone suspicious for invasive cancer. Biopsy revealed invasive squamous cell carcinoma histologically.

Class V-g

Endocervical adenocarcinoma.

Example of class V-g:

Eosinophilic tumor cells of endocervical glandular epithelium with marked pleomorphism and hyperchromasia in a 52-year-old patient. Colposcopic examination showed a T-zone type 3. Histopathologic evaluation of endocervical curettage revealed invasive adenocarcinoma.

Class V-e

Endometrial adenocarcinoma.

Example of class V-e:

Eosinophilic tumor cells of endometrial glandular epithelium with marked hyperchromasia in a 49-year-old patient.

Colposcopic examination showed a T-zone type 3. Histopathologic evaluation of hysteroscopic biopsy revealed endometrial carcinoma G2.

Class V-x

Other malignancies, including those of uncertain origin.

Example of class V-x:

Eosinophilic tumor cells with marked hyperchromasia and macronucleoli in a 73-year-old patient with rectal carcinoma that had spread to the vagina.
