The aim of our study was to assess the histologic findings and clinical correlations in patients with AGC identified on Papanicolaou test.</p></div><div><h3>Materials and methods</h3><p>A total of 714 patients with AGC identified on cervical Papanicolaou tests were studied for their clinicopathologic features, such as follow-up histology and patient age.

About 28.9% of patients’ follow-up histology showed malignant or precancerous lesions. The mean age of patients with malignant or precancerous lesions was significantly higher than that of patients with benign or non-precancerous lesions. The malignant histologies included 52 cases of endometrial cancers and 31 cases of cervical carcinomas<span>. The second most common subcategory was “atypical glandular cells, favor neoplastic” (5.0%), while “atypical endocervical cells, favor neoplastic” constituted about 2.7% of cases in our study. The average age of patients with “atypical glandular cells, favor neoplastic” was significantly higher than that of patients with “atypical endocervical cells, favor neoplastic”. The follow-up histology of about 82.1% of “atypical glandular cells, favor neoplastic” showed endometrial (73.9%) or cervical malignancies (26.1%). The follow-up histology of about 70.6% of “atypical endocervical cells, favor neoplastic” showed endometrial (50.0%) or cervical cancers (50.0%).
