OBJECTIVE: To quantify the frequency and significance of glandular cells in posthysterectomy liquid-based (SurePath, TriPath Imaging, Burlington, North Carolina, U.S.A.) vaginal Pap tests.
STUDY DESIGN: The presence of benign glandular cells in vaginal Pap tests from posthysterectomy patients represents a diagnostic challenge and may pose management issues. We investigated the presence, frequency and significance of glandular cells in 52 liquid-based (SurePath) vaginal Pap tests from posthysterectomy patients by combining cytomorphologic findings with adjunctive immunohistochemistry and mucin stains performed on cell block preparations and correlated the findings with clinical data.
RESULTS: After performing these special studies, the frequency of reporting glandular cells in posthysterectomy Pap tests decreased from 3.5% to 1.2% of all vaginal Pap tests performed in a 6-month period.
CONCLUSION: A strong association of the presence of benign appearing glandular cells and a previous history of gynecological malignancy (71%) and chemotherapy/radiation (59%) were noted, likely representing a regenerative process in response to injury or therapy.
