Cervical cytology in HPV. The smear shows small, isolated cells with signs of severe dyskaryosis. The cell nuclei are dense, hyperchromatic, with pronounced folding of the contour (“raisin-like”), occupying most of the cell volume. The cytoplasm is scanty and poorly discernible. These cells may be inconspicuous against the background of normal elements, therefore, a thorough examination of the background and the spaces between large squamous cells is required for their detection.
