Mild dysplasia of cervix. Light micrograph of a cervical smear,showing cancerous cells (stained pink). All of these squamous epithelial cells have slightly enlarged nuclei displaying granular chromatin. This is an indication of abnormally widespread cell division.

A cervical smear test is a method of detecting malignancy. If diagnosed at an early stage,cervical cancer can be cured. Stained with Papanicolaou. Magnification: x200 at 35mm size | |
