Comparison between benign endocervical cells, GAS, and UEA. GAS (a) displays a cell arrangement somewhat similar to benign endocervical cells (b) but distinct from UEA (c) which may result in misinterpretation. Nuclear features including uniform nuclear enlargement firmly place both GAS and UEA into the neoplastic category (TP; ×63, oil immersion). GAS, gastric-type endocervical adenocarcinoma; UEA, usual-type endocervical adenocarcinoma; TP, ThinPrep®.
