Ugly Wart

Another cell picture....sorry! This is a classic case of HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) or warts as seen in a Pap Smear. This is a magnification of 400x . We see quite a bit of this.....and some strains of the virus almost certainly lead to cervical cancer while others regress on their own. These infected cells are called koilocytes.
