What Does The Following PAP Smear Test Report Indicate?
Question: Hello Dr XXXXXXX
This is a follow up question for the one I asked you 2-3 days back, regarding PAP Smear test. I got the test reports, and wanted to understand how should that be interpreted. Below are the details:
Specimen: Cervical Cytological Preparation. Two unstained slides received in slide mailer labelled with two identifiers.
Microscopic Examination: 2001 BETHESDA System
Statement of Adequacy: Smears are satisfactory for evaluation. However, Smears show Marked Drying Artifcats. Transformation Zone Component present.
Microscopy: Superficial and Intermediate squamous Epthelial cells seen against a background of Moderate Neutrophilic Inflammation.
Interpretation: Negative for Intraepithelial Lesion for Malignancy.
Also, as part of my ultrasound test, they've seen 2 cms an echoic cyst - Dominant follicle in the left ovary. What does this mean?
Please note that all these tests were doen as part of my general health check up.
