Abstract

The Diagnostic criteria of AGC in Bethesda system includes broad spectrum pathological diagnoses. Forty-two cases diagnosed as AGC on Pap test were referred to our hospital over a period of four years. Almost half of AGC cytology was precancerous or early stage cancer, and about 30% of cases were invasive cancer. Only a quarter of the cases were normal or benign lesions. The glandular cell atypia of Pap smear included broad spectrum lesions in contrast to diagnostic criteria of squamous lesions. We should not hesitate to perform cone biopsy or more invasive surgery on cases in which confirmation of histological diagnosis is difficult.
