Uterine prolapse is a frequent benign pathology of the uterus and a common reason for hysterectomy.
General
- Clinical diagnosis.
- A common indication for a total hysterectomy.
- Hysterectomy specimen usually comes with some vaginal mucosa.
- Parous women, usually menopausal.[1]
- Possibly obesity - studies vary.[2]
Gross
- Long cervix.
Microscopic
Features:
- Uterus: non-specific.
- Vaginal mucosa: (focal) keratinization due to rubbing - common finding.
Note:

Sign out
UTERUS AND CERVIX, TOTAL HYSTERECTOMY: - UTERINE CERVIX WITH FOCAL KERATINIZATION OTHERWISE WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. - NONPROLIFERATIVE ENDOMETRIUM.
UTERUS AND CERVIX, TOTAL HYSTERECTOMY: - UTERINE CERVIX WITH KERATINIZATION, OTHERWISE WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. - CYSTIC NONPROLIFERATIVE ENDOMETRIUM. - UTERINE SMOOTH MUSCLE AND SEROSA WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. - NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
Denudated exocervix
UTERUS AND CERVIX, TOTAL HYSTERECTOMY: - UTERINE CERVIX WITH MILD CHRONIC INFLAMMATION AND EXOCERVICAL DENUDATION, NO EVIDENCE OF DYSPLASIA. - CYSTIC NONPROLIFERATIVE ENDOMETRIUM. - UTERINE CORPUS WITH BENIGN HYALINIZED NODULE. - NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY. COMMENT: Levels were cut on the uterine cervix sections (A1 and A2).
Focal ulceration
- UTERINE CERVIX WITH PARAKERATOSIS, ACANTHOSIS, CHRONIC INFLAMMATION, AND FOCAL ULCERATION ASSOCIATED WITH GRANULATION TISSUE FORMATION. - PARTIALLY CYSTIC NONPROLIFERATIVE ENDOMETRIUM. - UTERINE CORPUS WITH LEIOMYOMA. - NO EVIDENCE OF DYSPLASIA. - NEGATIVE FOR HYPERPLASIA AND NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
With endometrial polyp
UTERUS AND CERVIX, TOTAL HYSTERECTOMY: - BENIGN ENDOMETRIAL POLYP WITH NONPROLIFERATIVE ENDOMETRIAL GLANDS. - UTERINE CERVIX WITH MILD CHRONIC INFLAMMATION AND FOCAL EXOCERVICAL DENUDATION, NO EVIDENCE OF DYSPLASIA. - VERY WEAKLY PROLIFERATIVE ENDOMETRIUM, MOSTLY ATROPHIC APPEARING, NEGATIVE FOR ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA. - UTERINE CORPUS WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. - NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
