Abnormal Pap Smears - Missing Cells From: Lisa (anonymous@obgyn.net) Wed, 16 Apr 1997 13:30:21 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: J.: "Premature amniotic sack breakage and miscarriage" Previous message: Mrs.: "obesity and pregnancy" Next in thread: Harvey S. Marchbein, M.D.: "Re: Abnormal Pap Smears - Missing Cells" Reply: Harvey S. Marchbein, M.D.: "Re: Abnormal Pap Smears - Missing Cells" During the past two months I have had three pap smears, all of which have come back "fine", but are missing what my doctor calls "endocervical" cells. After the first test, she said that it was important to take another test, because the location of these cells is where cancer is most likely to occur. I read Dr. Chudacoff's response to another posting, dated 3/19/97, in which he describes the two types of cells. I assume my doctor is referring to "squamous" cells. After the third test, she stated she would not test again because she feared damaging my uterus if she went any further to try to get the cell sample. Do you know why I would be "missing" these cells? Is there a disease or situation that would cause this?
