BACKGROUND: @entity356 ( @entity356 ) is a clinically aggressive variant of cervical @entity420 . This study sought to describe the cytologic features of @entity356 . METHODS: We reviewed the cervical and endometrial smears of 14 @entity1 with a histopathologic diagnosis of @entity356 . All slides were conventionally smeared. We included 20 controls with @entity420 ( @entity420 ). RESULTS: Monolayered and honeycomb sheets were observed in 78.6% (11/14) of @entity1 with @entity356 , and were prominent in seven @entity1 . Three-dimensional clusters were more prominent in the @entity420 group. Vacuolar and/or foamy cytoplasm was observed in 71.4% (10/14) of @entity1 with @entity356 , whereas this finding was rare among those with @entity420 (2/18). Marked intracytoplasmic neutrophil entrapment was more common in the @entity356 group (7/14) than in the @entity420 group (2/18). Intracytoplasmic @entity3558 was present in eight @entity1 with @entity356 . Nuclei were vesicular in eight @entity1 with @entity356 , but were homogenous and hyperchromatic in @entity420 @entity1 . Conspicuous nucleoli were present in nine @entity1 with @entity356 . Conversely, this finding was rarely observed in @entity420 @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: The characteristic cytologic findings of @entity356 include (1) monolayered and honeycomb sheets, (2) vacuolar and/or foamy cytoplasm, (3) intracytoplasmic neutrophil entrapment, and (4) vesicular nuclei with prominent nucleoli.
