Honored , Humbled, and so glad to share that my project won first place in the upcoming Tristate pathology conference.
I am thankful for Dr. Youssef and Dr. Del Pozo for their continuous support.

Follicular Cervicitis
🔍 Key Histologic Clues
•Prominent lymphoid follicles with reactive germinal centers in the cervical stroma
•Dense chronic inflammatory infiltrate composed predominantly of lymphocytes and plasma cells
•Usually located beneath intact squamous or endocervical epithelium
⚠️ Diagnostic Pitfall
•Can raise concern for a lymphoproliferative disorder when lymphoid aggregates are prominent
•Small biopsies may overemphasize the lymphoid component and obscure the reactive nature of the process
🔬 Differential Diagnosis
•Reactive chronic cervicitis
•Primary or secondary cervical lymphoma
•Chronic inflammatory conditions with lymphoid hyperplasia
💡 Learning Pearl
•Follicular cervicitis is a benign reactive process characterized by lymphoid follicles with germinal centers and is classically associated with chronic genital infection, particularly Chlamydia trachomatis infection.
•Identification of well-formed reactive germinal centers and a polymorphous inflammatory population supports a benign diagnosis.

🔬 Educational Pearl:
Numerous nucleated red blood cells within placental stem villi are an important clue to chronic fetal hypoxia and may suggest fetal vascular malperfusion (FVM).
