Inflammation in Gynecologic Cytology: How to Recognize Reactive Changes and Avoid Diagnostic Pitfalls in the Pap Test

Inflammation in Gynecologic Cytology: How to Recognize Reactive Changes and Avoid Diagnostic Pitfalls in the Pap Test

The Online Meeting was delivered by Dr. Marcelo Perazzolli, a pharmacist specialized in Clinical Cytology, with experience in teaching in the healthcare field, cytological diagnosis, consulting in gynecologic cytology, and training multidisciplinary teams in women’s health.

The session covered the main aspects related to inflammatory processes in cervical cytology, including reactive cellular changes associated with inflammation, patterns of cellular repair and their morphological characteristics, the distinction between reactive changes and intraepithelial lesions, cytological changes associated with specific clinical conditions, and the identification of microorganisms in cervical cytology.

Participants were trained to accurately interpret inflammatory changes, differentiate benign processes from potentially malignant alterations, recognize microorganisms with greater confidence, and analyze examinations more reliably, improving the quality of cytopathology reports and supporting safer decision-making in routine diagnostic practice.
