Resumo
CENTENO-DIAZ, Roger. Relationship between absence of endocervical cells and negative Pap smears in patients with squamous premalignant cervix lesions. Rev Med Hered [online]. 2023, vol.34, n.3, pp.143-148. Epub 20-Dez-2023. ISSN 1018-130X. http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/rmh.v34i3.4924.
Objective
: To determine the relationship between absence of endocervical cells and false negative Pap smears in patients with squamous premalignant cervix lesions.
Methods
: A cross sectional study was carried out at Servicio de Anatomía Patológica del Hospital General de Huacho. A search for positive cervix biopsies for squamous intraepithelial lesions and their Pap smears from 2016 to 2018 was done. Negative Pap smears with absence of endocervical cells were investigated.
Results
: 23 out of 158 cytology results showed absence of endocervical cells, only two (8.7%) were reported negative. Eleven cytologies were negative (7%).
Conclusions
: No relationship was found between absence of endocervical cells and false negative results at Pap smears. Therefore, no influence in the detection of squamous pre-malignant cells was found.
Palavras-chave : Papanicolaou Test; cytology; diagnosis; cervix uteri.
