Normal endocervical cells
Normal endocervical cells usually means columnar cells which morphology may be secretory or less frequently ciliated. Columnar endocervical cells are generally larger than endometrial cells. It has to be kept in mind that after menopause the squamo-columnar junction is moving into the endocervical canal and squamous cells may thus be present in a strictly endocervical sample.
