Cytomorphological study on tissue repair cells observed in the cytological specimens obtained from the cervix of patients (two pt.who received cryosurgical treatment for the chronic cervicitis, two pt. who received iiradiation therapy for the cervical cancer and two pt. who were suffering from heary colpitis) was carried out. The nuclear configulation was round or oval in 97.2% of analysed nuclei. Irregular nuclear borders were observed in 5.9%. The chromatin patten was recognized as finely granular in 99.6% and chromatin was equally dis tributed in 99.3% Irregular nucleolar borders were observed in 5.3% multiple macronucleoli were recognized in 4.6% macronucleoli, over 2.5μ in diameter, ware observed in 14.8%. Nuclear diameter, which was expressed as a half of long axis plus short axis, was rather small. Nuclear diameter under 10μ was investigated in 64.4% and nucleus more over 15μ in diameter was observed in 3.2%.
Irregular nuclear borders and macronucleoli were observed in 8.2% and 16.6% of nuclei of postcryo surgical cases and in 8.0% and 19.0% of nuclei of inflammatory (colpitis) cases.Irregular nucleolar borders were observed in 12.0% of nucici of post cryosurgical cases.
Cellular origin of these cells and differential diagnosis from cells derived from neoplastic lesion of the cervix were also dis cussed.
