Slide 223: PAP Smear, cervical dysplasia
|
The clusters of dysplastic
cells are fairly numerous although you will need to search for them. You will
see many normal squamous epithelial cells with small, point-like, central
nuclei. The dysplastic cells have a large nucleus with irregular nuclear
borders and irregular nuclear clumping.
See this slide with the
virtual microscope. |

Here you can see the nuclear
atypia of the dysplatic cells. Large and immature appearing nuclei, irregular
nuclear borders and clumping of the DNA. |
