Endocervical Adenocarcinoma In Situ Presenting in Fundal Endometrial Polyp
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A 38-yr-old woman, with a previous history of low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion in the cervix, presented with heavy menstrual bleeding. At hysteroscopy, a fundal polyp was removed from the right cornu which displayed many glands lined by atypical, mitotically active epithelium with features characteristic of endocervical adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) of intestinal subtype. Subsequent cervical liquid-based cytology and colposcopically directed biopsies revealed no causative lesion, but residual PreservCyt from the ThinPrep vial tested positive for high risk HPV type other than HPV 16 and 18. Further biopsies from the endocervical canal and base of the resected polyp showed intestinal type AIS, while all those from the intervening anterior and posterior endometrial lining exhibited normal endometrium only. Genomic DNA extracted from the endometrial polyp and second set of endocervical biopsies tested positive for HPV 31, an uncommon cause of endocervical glandular neoplasia. Endocervical AIS typically arises in the transformation zone but may be found exclusively in the endocervical canal and rarely as high as 30 mm from the ectocervix. Contiguous spread into the lower uterine segment is known to occur, as are proximate so-called skip lesions. However, finding a 'skip' lesion 80 mm from the transformation zone poses an interesting pathogenetic conundrum as well as a therapeutic dilemma in a young patient desirous of retaining fertility. Issues relating to pathogenesis include necessary metaplasia of the endometrial glandular epithelium to 'susceptible' endocervical type epithelium within the polyp or metastatic implantation of transformed endocervical glandular cells onto the polyp. The current management plan involves regular hysteroscopic surveillance of the uterine cavity.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
