What are the Common Gynecological Conditions Diagnosed Histologically?
Endometriosis Histological examination of endometriosis reveals endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity, causing inflammation and scarring.
Cervical Cancer Histology can identify pre-cancerous changes in cervical cells (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia) and invasive cancer. Screening with Papanicolaou (Pap) smears is essential for early detection.
Ovarian Tumors Ovarian tumors can be benign or malignant, with histology providing crucial information on tumor type, grade, and stage. Common types include serous cystadenoma and serous carcinoma.
Endometrial Cancer Histological analysis of endometrial biopsies can diagnose different types of endometrial cancer, such as endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and determine the degree of differentiation and invasion.
