Pap Smear Test! Trivia Quiz
(186).jpg "Pap Smear Test! Trivia Quiz - Quiz")
A Pap smear is a medical screening method for cervical cancer done on a female to test and check cancerous cells' presence on the cervix.
In this procedure, cells are softly brushed away, which may be a little bit painful process. Take this quiz to test your knowledge by identifying the correct images and select the right option.

HSV
Correct Answer
C. Trichomonas vaginalisExplanation
Trichomonas is a pear-shaped, oval, or round cyanophillic organism. Nuclei are pale and eccentrically located. Eosinophilic cytoplasmic granules may be visible.Rate this question:

LGSIL
- D.
ASCUS
- E.
ASCUS
Correct Answer
A. Reactive endocervical cellsExplanation
Increased N/C ratio. Prominent nucleoli but delicate chromatin and no nuclear membrane abnormalities. Such changes should not be over-interpreted as atypical endocervical cells.Rate this question:

Squamous cell carcinoma carcinoma
- C.
HGSIL
- D.
Reactive cellular changes associated with radiation
- E.
Reactive cellular changes associated with IUD
Correct Answer
E. Reactive cellular changes associated with IUDExplanation
Single cells may also mimic high-grade SIL; however, the morphologic spectrum of abnormalities usually present with squamous intraepithelial lesions is absent in cases with single atypical cells due to the IUD effect. Also, the presence of nucleoli in isolated cells with a high N/C ratio (right) are not typical of HSIL.Rate this question:

Repair
Correct Answer
E. RepairExplanation
Squamous cells in flat monolayer sheet with the maintenance of nuclear polarity and prominent nucleoli in most cells If marked anisonucleosis, irregularities in the chromatin distribution, or variation in size and shape of nucleoli are present, so-called "atypical repair", the changes should be categorized as atypical glandular cells or atypical squamous cells.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. LGSILExplanation
Large, multinucleated dysplastic cells with "mature" cytoplasm and distinct cell borders. The nucleus shows enlargement which is > 3X intermediate nuclei, hyperchromasia, pleomorphism of size and shape. No nucleoli are seen.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. HGSILExplanation
HGSIL stands for High-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion. It is a diagnosis that indicates the presence of abnormal cells on the surface of the cervix that have a high likelihood of progressing to invasive squamous cell carcinoma if left untreated. HGSIL is considered a precancerous condition and requires further evaluation and treatment to prevent the development of cervical cancer.Rate this question:
