Microridges of neoplastic cervical cells. A phase-contrast study
Acta Cytologica
|July 1, 1982
Abstract:
Fifty consecutive cervical smears representing dysplasia, carcinoma in situ or invasive cancer were examined by phase-contrast microscopy for the presence of cells with microridges. In a majority of cases, some neoplastic cells exhibited microridges. In more advanced neoplasias, the microridges were less frequent. The absence of microridges does not appear to be a characteristic of cancer per se but may be an indicator of the degree of squamous maturation of the cell.
