Sample text

The Ki-67 proliferation index in villous trophoblast is high at the junction with the CT at the base of the villus but decreases progressively toward the tip (distal end) of the trophoblastic column. The Ki-67 proliferation index is zero at the junction of the column with the decidua of the basal plate and is zero in the implantation-type IT cells as they “drop off” the column and infiltrate the endomyometrium. The Ki-67 proliferation index is low (<5%) in chorionic type IT. The Ki-67 index in ST cells is zero, which is consistent with that of terminally differentiated cells.

Endocervical glands with squamous metaplasia or microglandular hyperplasia yield complex patterns, but these elements are cytologically bland and usually blend into more typical cervical epithelium (Fig. 22). In questionable cases, continuity with endometrial surface epithelium may help to establish origin in the corpus. It is also helpful to look at the surrounding stroma and see if it is of endometrial or endocervical type.
