Management of atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance pap smears: a reappraisal.

OBJECTIVE.: To find appropriate management of patients with atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance (AGUS) Pap smears. MATERIALS AND METHODS.

Value of ultrasound in the early diagnosis of prerupture uterine horn pregnancy. A case report.

Background: The poor outcome of rudimentary horn pregnancies is due to delayed diagnosis.

Case: Pregnancy in a rudimentary uterine horn was detected by ultrasound prior to rupture. The rudimentary horn was resected without complications.

Atypical glandular cells: new Bethesda Terminology and Management Guidelines.

Although Pap tests have enabled early detection of premalignant lesions, the introduction of new collecting devices has significantly improved the detection of lesions hidden in the endocervical canal, such as adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS). The term "atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance" (AGUS) was introduced at the 1988 Bethesda Conference and defined as morphologic changes in glandular cells beyond those that are suggestive of the benign reactive process, but insufficient for the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS). In the new 2001 Bethesda System, the term has been eliminated and replaced with the term "atypical glandular cells" (AGC), with the following subclassifications: not otherwise specified (NOS), favor neoplasia, endocervical AIS, and adenocarcinoma.
