AI Article Synopsis
- A 32-year-old woman was found to have an endocervical polyp containing atypical stromal cells.
- Light microscopy revealed these cells had unusual eosinophilic inclusions, which were analyzed with electron microscopy and showed nonmembrane-bound, compact fibrillary structures.
- The ultrastructural characteristics suggested that these atypical cells were fibroblastic and resembled features seen in infantile digital fibromatosis, marking a novel discovery in medical literature.
Article Abstract
A case of endocervical polyp with atypical stromal cells in a 32-year-old woman is reported. Light microscopy showed atypical stromal cells with eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions which, by electron microscopy, were nonmembrane-bound, compact fibrillary structures in close relationship with the cytoplasmic microfibrils. The ultrastructural features demonstrated a fibroblastic nature of bizarre cells. These inclusions are similar to those of infantile digital fibromatosis. These findings have not been reported previously.

Cervical polyps are typically benign exophytic lesions that are often asymptomatic and small during pregnancy. However, they can occasionally cause significant symptoms, leading to gestational complications. A lack of awareness of this condition, combined with inadequate diagnosis and treatment, can pose risks to maternal and fetal health, potentially resulting in complications or pregnancy loss.

Objective: This study assessed the feasibility of smartphone-based colposcopy (SBC) for visual inspection of the cervix by community healthcare workers in low-resource areas.
Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted in community villages in rural Vietnam, where 177 participants were enrolled for a cervical cancer screening. Cervical images were obtained by pre-trained community healthcare workers using a portable, upcycled SBC (Samsung Galaxy Note 20).

Introduction: 'Atypical glandular cells' (AGC) is an uncommon cytological result of cervical Pap smears which includes a wide of histopathological diagnoses, from benign to premalignant and malignant cervical disorders, endometrial cancer and, occasionally, other genital malignancies. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of AGC, assessing risk factors and clinical and histological features in affected patients.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of 239 women diagnosed with AGC between 2012 and 2022 at the 'Regional Referral Center for Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment of HPV-related Genital Disorders', Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, Milan, Italy.
This report presents a unique case of an endocervical polyp-mimicking malignancy on pelvic MRI in a 45-year-old female. The MRI depicted a multilocular cystic lesion with an enhancing solid component, raising suspicion for malignancy. However, histopathological examination definitively revealed a benign endocervical polyp.
