Potential pitfalls in the cytologic diagnosis of adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) of the cervix are illustrated by the presentation of three cases of benign cervical lesions initially diagnosed as AIS: cervical endometriosis, tubal metaplasia of the endocervix and changes due to a previous biopsy. The differential diagnosis of endocervical glandular abnormalities is discussed.
