Specimen type: |
Conventional smear (Pap smear) |
Liquid-based preparation |
Other |
Specimen adequacy: |
Satisfactory for evaluation (describe presence or absence of endocervical/transformation zone component and any other quality indicators, e.g. partially obscuring blood, inflammation, etc.) |
Unsatisfactory for evaluation… (specify reason) |
Specimen rejected/not processed (specify reason) |
Specimen processed and examined, but unsatisfactory for evaluation of epithelial abnormality because of (specify reason) |
General categorization (optional): |
Negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy conventional smear (Pap smear) |
Other: see interpretation/result (e.g., endometrial cells in a woman ≥ 40 yr of age) |
Epithelial cell abnormality: see interpretation/result (specify “squamous” or “glandular” as appropriate) |
Interpretation/result: |
Negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy: when there is no cellular evidence of neoplasia, state this in the general categorization above and/or in the interpretation/result section of the report, whether or not there are organisms or other non-neoplastic findings |
Organisms: |
Trichomonas vaginalis |
Fungal organisms morphologically consistent with Candida spp. |
Shift in flora suggestive of bacterial vaginosis |
Bacteria morphologically consistent with Actinomyces spp. |
Cellular changes consistent with HSV |
Other non neoplastic findings (optional to report; list not inclusive): |
Reactive cellular changes associated with: |
Inflammation (includes typical repair) |
Radiation |
IUD |
Glandular cells status post hysterectomy |
Atrophy |
Other: |
Endometrial cells (in a woman ≥ 40 yr of age): specify if “negative for SIL” |
Epithelial cell abnormalities: |
Squamous cell: |
ASC: |
Of undetermined significance (ASC-US) |
Cannot exclude H-SIL (ASC-H) |
Low-grade SIL (L-SIL) (encompassing: HPV/mild dysplasia/CIN1) |
High-grade SIL (H-SIL) (encompassing: moderate and severe dysplasia, CIS/CIN2 and CIN3): |
With features suspicious for invasion (if invasion is suspected) |
SCC |
Glandular cell: |
Atypical: |
Endocervical cells (NOS or specify in comments) |
Endometrial cells (NOS or specify in comments) |
Glandular cells (NOS or specify in comments) |
Atypical |
Endocervical cells, favor neoplastic |
Glandular cells, favor neoplastic |
Endocervical adenocarcinoma in situ |
Adenocarcinoma: |
Endocervical |
Endometrial |
Extrauterine |
NOS |
Other malignant neoplasms (specify) |
Ancillary testing: provide a brief description of the test methods and report the result so that it is easily understood by the clinician |
Automated review: if case examined by automated device, specify device and result |
Educational notes and suggestions (optional): suggestions should be concise and consistent with clinical follow-up guidelines published by professional organizations (references to relevant publications may be included) |
