Pap test. The Pap test mainly checks for changes that may turn into cervical cancer. Cells scraped from the opening of the cervix are examined under a microscope. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus (womb) that opens at the top of the vagina. This test is sometimes called a Pap "smear" or "cervical cytology." Nabothian Cysts. Nabothian cysts (also called mucinous retention cysts or epithelial cysts) are common and benign and are considered a normal feature of the adult cervix ( Figure 1, C ). Many women have multiple cysts. They may be translucent or opaque, whitish to yellow, and range from a few millimeters to 3 to 4 cm in diameter.
Endometrial hyperplasia is a disordered proliferation of endometrial glands. It results from the unopposed estrogenic stimulation of the endometrial tissue with a relative deficiency of the counterbalancing effects of progesterone.[1] This imbalance in the hormonal milieu can be seen in a number of conditions where the cause of estrogen excess is either endogenous or exogenous.
VaIN 1 (mild dysplasia, or low-grade VaIN): Abnormal cells are located only in the outermost third of the vagina lining's thickness. VaIN 2 (moderate dysplasia, or high-grade VaIN): Abnormal cells have spread deeper and can now be found in two-thirds of the vaginal lining's thickness. VaIN 3 (severe dysplasia, or high-grade VaIN): VaIN 3 is qlpXKk.
