Article Synopsis
- - Stratified mucin-producing intraepithelial lesion (SMILE) is a rare precursor to cervical adenocarcinoma, linked to human papillomavirus (HPV), yet limited data exists on HPV detection within SMILE lesions.
- - A 30-year-old woman's Pap smear showed atypical glandular cells, and subsequent biopsy confirmed the presence of SMILE and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), with HPV types 52 and 68 detected as contributing factors.
- - Identifying high-risk HPV genotypes could be crucial for preventing SMILE progression to cancer and improving patient management strategies.
