Question 1

what does this mean? negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy. atrophic pattern; predominantly parabasal cells?

Accepted Answer

: There is no cancer. What tissue/organ was biopsied? It only means that the organ less than healthy epithelium, however, if it is from the uterus, that would be normal for your age.

Question 2

what is the mean of infammantry smear with mild reactive atypia.negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy. is this cancer starting stage?

Accepted Answer

No: This type of smear would suggest a recent infection as the cause of reactive atypia.  There is no evidence of cancer stated.  Typically this would warrant a repeat pap smear in the future.

Question 3

what does source:
cervix, endocervix 
statement of adequacy:
satisfactory for evaluation. endocervical/transformation zone component present mean? 
also 
interpretation/result:
negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy

Accepted Answer

Normal: This is a normal result.  In Pathology-speak, it means that there is no sign of cancer or other disease of the cervix.

Question 4

i just received my pap smear results. neg for intraepithelial lesion and malignancy but chmi is 10:80:10. what does that mean? on the pill btw.

Accepted Answer

Pill effect: An MI is a ratio obtained through performing a random count of three major cell types (parabasal cells, intermediate cells and superficial cells) that are shed from the squamous epithelium. The cell count is expressed as a percentage that reads as follows: MI= % parabasal cells, % intermediate cells, % superficial cells. Parabasal cells are the least mature cells having not been affected by estrogen or progesterone. Intermediate cells display mild maturation, having been affected by progesterone, and superficial cells display the most maturity, having been affected by estrogen. A patient’s MI can vary on a daily basis, and of course MIs vary from patient to patient. There are only two absolutes when it comes to cellular patterns in an MI: the first is that a predominance of parabasal cells indicates an absence of estrogen stimulation, and second is that a predominance of superficial cells indicates estrogen stimulation. Intermediate cells have little clinical usefulness. The maturation index is useful for the evaluation of therapies designed to treat vaginal hormonal symptoms.

Question 5

pap smear-negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy but positive in hpv high risk (16,18,31,33) what does this means? am i at risk for cancer?

Accepted Answer

At risk: You simply need to be followed extra close. I am glad you are health conscious, and if you comply, you should be fine.

Question 6

my pap results say negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy with acute inflammation. what does this mean? been tested for stds twice all negative but uti and group b strep positive. could this be the cause?

Accepted Answer

: Yes. It means no cancer or pre-cancer areas but irritation from some agent. GBS can do this as can other germs causing vaginitis/cervicitis.

Question 7

my pap smear say satisfactor for evaluation...negative forintraepithelial lession/malignancy..wat this means?

Accepted Answer

Normal : This is the standard way that a normal pap smear is reported. It tells you that there are enough cells collected to evaluate the specimen and that there is no evidence for a precancer or cancer.

Question 8

pap smear results say normal/negative for interepithelial lesions or malignancy but also says reactive epithelial cell changes. what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Nothing serious: The aim of pap test is to check for Cancer cells or pre-cancers. you have neither of these conditions. reactive is a non specific word saying  the cells are not perfect, yet the reactive chnages are not of any consequence

Question 9

pap hpv negative & negative for intraepithelial lesions or malignancy but noted moderate inflammation. what does that mean?  sex occurred 48hr before

Accepted Answer

Nonspecific finding: Inflammation on a pap smear is very nonspecific -- i.e. there are many potential causes. It's so common that many gyns don't even consider it abnormal. STDs are possible if at risk (new partner, partner with other partners, etc), but STDs are relatively uncommon at your age. Ask your doctor about it and whether she recommends repeat pap smear or any other testing.

Question 10

if a lesion turn out to be malignancy does this mean cancer?

Accepted Answer

Yes: By definition. Remember that there are hundreds of relatively common kinds of cancer, and that some are much more aggressive than others.
