High-Risk Human Papillomavirus Testing, Genotyping, and Histopathologic Follow-up in Women With Abnormal Glandular Cells on Papanicolaou Tests.

OBJECTIVES
This study examined the association of high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) status and HPV genotype with histopathologic follow-ups in women with an atypical glandular cell (AGC) interpretation.


METHODS
Cases with AGC interpretation on a Papanicolaou (Pap) test were retrieved along with hrHPV testing, genotyping, and histologic follow-up results if available.


RESULTS
A total of 561 AGC cases were identified, with histologic follow-up available for 471 cases (84%). The follow-up diagnoses included benign or reactive changes (60% of cases), low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (18%), high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2-3; 7%), cervical carcinoma (5%), and other malignancies (10%). Tests for hrHPV were positive in 128 of 426 (30%) cases, including HPV16 (30%), HPV18 (14%) and other HPV subtypes (56%). A positive hrHPV result significantly increased the risk of developing CIN2-3 or cervical carcinoma (odds ratio, 24.6; 95% CI, 9.9-58.9) and HPV16 or HPV18 further increased the risk (odds ratio, 49.5; 95% CI, 17.7-123.7).


CONCLUSIONS
Our data demonstrate that in women with an AGC Pap interpretation, a positive hrHPV result, especially type 16 or 18, is associated with an increased risk of developing cervical CIN2-3 or higher lesions, suggesting potential implications of hrHPV testing for the management of patients with an AGC result on a Pap test.
