Abstract

PEDROSA, Isabel et al. Mesonephric hyperplasia can cause abnormal papanicolaou smears: a case report. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.2, pp.93-97. ISSN 1646-5830.

Mesonephric hyperplasia (MH) is a very rare condition. There are few cases in the literature. Mesonephric remnants (MR) or MH can be a rare source of abnormal Papanicolaou smears. The most common, often difficult, in the differential diagnosis of MH is mesonephric carcinoma that has a poor prognosis. We report a case of a 29-years-old with a routine Papanicolaou smear reported as atypical glandular cells. The patient underwent to a loop electrosurgical excision procedure and because it is a benign condition and a strong desire to preserve fertility, we opted for clinical surveillance.

Keywords : Hyperplasia; Mesonephric; Papanicolaou smears; Mesonephric carcinoma.
