Superficial endometriosis of the cervix: A source of abnormal glandular cells on cervicovaginal smears
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Superficial endometriosis of the cervix, a benign process which may be associated with atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance (AGUS) on cervicovaginal (CV) smears, is becoming increasingly recognized on colposcopic examination. This study details the clinical, cytologic, and histology features of six cases of superficial cervical endometriosis. All CV smears featured atypical endocervical-like columnar cells in sheets and strips as well as cells with endometrial characteristics including solid cohesive, crowded, overlapping glandular groups, loss of cellular polarity, and a frequent ragged "feathered" edge appearance with protruding nuclei, occasional rosette formations, and endometrial stroma. Recognition of endometrial stroma in continuity with groups of cells with these features on CV smears may suggest the diagnosis of this benign condition. However, the cytologic features of endometriosis show sufficient overlap with those of precancerous and cancerous glandular lesions that many of these cases will continue to be diagnosed as "atypical glandular cells."

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
