Objectives: The objective was to investigate the microscopic artifacts made in the uterus of cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) resected by hysterectomy through minimally invasive (H-MI) procedures and to verify whether these specimens are suitable for histopathological assessment.
Materials And Methods: This single-center retrospective study analyzed 28 patients with cervical HSIL, consisting of 21 premenopausal and seven postmenopausal women, who underwent H-MI. The proportion of the cervical mucosa covered by intact surface epithelium (residual ratio [RR]) was measured on microscopically.
Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) refers to a group of diseases, characterized by abnormal proliferation of lymphocytes, that develop after organ transplantation. PTLD is associated with poor prognosis, and has become a major problem for transplant patients. In this report, we described a case of malignant lymphoma of the cervix in a bicollis uterus considered to be a PTLD in a patient after renal transplantation.

We analyzed the clinical characteristics and prognosis of the other types of neoplasm (non-SCC) compared with those of SCC.
