    Endocervical adenocarcinomas (ECAs) have been recently reclassified according to their morphologic features linked to etiology by the International Endocervical Adenocarcinoma Criteria and Classification (IECC) and this system is adopted by WHO 2020. This classification separates the ECAs as human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated (HPVA) and HPV-independent (HPVI) subtypes. According to WHO 2020, high risk (HR)-HPV association can be histologically recognized by the presence of luminal mitoses and apoptosis. Therefore, investigating the reproducibility of the morphologic criteria of this new classification will be important in observing the recognizability of tumor types. Full slide sets of 94 ECAs were collected from 4 institutions in Turkey and reclassified on the basis of IECC/WHO 2020 criteria and the presence or absence of HR-HPV. HR-HPV presence was confirmed by HPV DNA in situ hybridization, p16 immunohistochemistry and in conflicted cases with real time-polymerase chain reaction. The final diagnoses were given based on the combination of the histologic evaluation and ancillary test results. Our cohort consisted of 73.4% HPVA and 26.6% HPVI cases. According to the WHO 2020 criteria 92.7% of HPVAs and 88% of HPVIs were easily classified. HPV DNA in situ hybridization was positive in 91.3% of the HPVAs and p16 was positive in all HPVAs, and also positive in 8% of the HPVIs. In conclusion, most of the ECAs can be diagnosed by their characteristic morphologic features by the WHO 2020 criteria. However, we want to emphasize that mitosis/apoptosis criteria may not be helpful especially in mucinous ECAs and ancillary tests for HR-HPV should be used in challenging cases.

    The prevalence and distribution of human papillomavirus in 4267 Turkish women with or without cervical lesions: A hospital-based study
    (2022) Altay-Kocak, Aylin; Kazanci, Ferah; Dogu-Tok, Canan; Onan, Anil; Erdem, Ozlem; Ozkan, Secil; Bozdayi, Gulendam; 0000-0002-0451-0142; 35676203; AAI-8012-2021
    In the present study, it was aimed to screen the genotypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) retrospectively in women with gynecological symptoms who were admitted to a tertiary care university hospital in Ankara, Turkey. A total of 4267 cervical swab samples of women aged 18-79 years were sent to Medical Virology Laboratory from January 2017 to November 2020. Nucleic acid extraction and amplification of samples were done by an automated system. The test can detect 14 high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) types in a single analysis that performs a real-time polymerase chain reaction, by providing individual results on the highest-risk genotypes HPV 16 and HPV 18 and pooled results on other high-risk genotypes (OHR-HPV) (31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68). HPV DNA positivity was detected in 14.2% (605/4267) of the samples. HPV type 16 and type 18 were detected in 2.4% and 0.7% of the samples, respectively. OHR-HPV types were found in 8.8% of the samples. Of the 1.9% and 0.4% samples had mixed types with type 16+ OHR-HPV and type 18+ OHR-HPV, respectively. The results of this study presented the rates of HR-HPV genotypes of a university hospital in Ankara, over a 4-year period. It was observed that the positivity rate of type 18 is decreasing and some OHR-HPV types are increasing. HPV vaccination is not in the national immunization program in Turkey yet, however, HPV vaccines are available and the vaccination rates for women are increasing.
