1. Near the external os of the cervix, what is found as a normal transition fromcolumnar epithelium?

2. During routine examination, an asymptomatic multiparous patient is found to have a raised 1-cmcyst on

her cervix. The area is biopsied and clear mucus is extruded. Histologic examination of the specimen

shows a lining of flattened columnar or cuboidal-type cells. With what would this clinical picture be

most compatible?

3. On a cytologic specimen, which of the following findings would be most suspicious of herpes virus

infection?

4. During the menstrual cycle, the histologic appearance of the endometriumwill change significantly.

During the first half of the menstrual cycle, the endometriumbecomes thicker and rebuilds largely in

response to which of the following?

5. During repeat c-section excretances are seen on the ovary and uterine surface. These are biopsied and

the report states this as decidualization. What does the termdecidualization mean?

6. The cells in the layers surrounding each oocyte produce ovarian hormones. Which of the following is

the correct order of cell layers surrounding an ovarian follicle fromthe oocyte outward?

7. What is the fate of most of the ovarian follicles that begin to develop at each cycle?

8. Luteinization occurs normally in the ovary during each menstrual cycle. Which of the following best

describes this process?

9. An ovary is removed for frozen section pathologic examination. The ovary is enlarged, with small

surface excrescences. Pathologic examination reveals numerous cysts lined by serous epitheliumwith

six to eight cell layers piled on top of one another to formthe cyst walls. The cells show marked

cytologic atypia, and nests of similar cells are present in the ovarian stroma. Round laminated calcium

bodies are also seen. What diagnosis does this histologic description indicate?

10. Histologically, the presence of which of the following would determine that an ovarian teratoma is

malignant?
