Article Synopsis
- The text introduces the concept that viral cytopathic changes in sputum cytology have been noted for several viruses, but human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is not well-documented in this context.
- It presents a case study of a 63-year-old male patient with hMPV, detailing specific cytopathic changes observed in his sputum, like multinucleation and nuclear inclusions.
- The conclusion highlights the need to recognize hMPV's role in causing these changes and stresses the importance of distinguishing them from similar features caused by other viruses, as this can affect clinical management.
Introduction: Seborrheic keratosis-like lesion of the cervix and vagina is a rare lesion and shows similar morphology to vulvar seborrheic keratosis; 3 of the 7 previously reported cases were associated with low-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) type 42. We report a case of seborrheic keratosis-like lesion of the cervix and provide the first description of the cytological features of this lesion.
Case Presentation: A woman in her late forties presented with postcoital bleeding.
Possible high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (pHSIL) in the new cervical screening paradigm: The outcomes and the role of clinicopathological review.

Background: A renewed National Cervical Screening Program (NCSP) was introduced in Australia in December 2017. Under the renewed NCSP, there are limited data to guide the management of discordant colposcopy and biopsy results after a liquid-based cytology (LBC) finding of 'possible high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion' (pHSIL).
Aims: This study aims to determine the proportion of women referred with pHSIL who are found to have HSIL, identify influencing factors of women most at risk, and examine the role that cytopathology review plays in management decisions.
