A member asked:
What does endocervical gland involvement mean on leep pathology report? it was removed by leep (cin 3)
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Nothing really: The layer of abnormal cells have crawled down into the infoldings that we often call "endocervical glands", but have not invaded the structures that would qualify it as an invasive cancer. We see this often. Glad you had this done and are keeping up on your health maintenance. Hopefully this will be curative but be sure to follow up.

Extends in: CIN3 is high grade dysplasia of the squamous mucosa of the 'outer' part of the cervix (ectocervix). The inner part of the cervix (endocervix) is lined by glandular mucosa, not squamous. Endocervical gland involvement means the CIN is not just on the outside of the cervix, it extends inward down the canal. But this does NOT mean it is invasive. ECC might be done to make sure CIN is removed
