A member asked:
Biopsy:cervical squamous mucosa w/ reactive epithelial changes and hyperkeratosis.endocerv. curetting:benign endocerv. tissue.can you help understand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctor Speak: There is nothing scary in those results. "Benign endocervical tissue" means there is normal, non-cancerous tissue from the endocervix. "Cervical Squamous mucosa" is simply normal skin from the outer cervix. "Reactive epithelial changes" mean that they see evidence of a reaction by the skin to irritation or injury. Hyperkeratosis is an increased amount of keratin in the skin.
