Sorry i have to type English.
I feel nucleolus is a very simplified concept in pathology teaching. The classic teaching is: you see nucleoli in invasive SCC and reparative cells. But in real life what you observed is absolutely true. You can see nucleoli in many situations . You certainly can see it in metaplastic cells. Please note that many cervical/endocervical smears have inflammation, so those metaplastic cells show nucleoli as reactive changes. You do see nucleoli in invasive SCC and adenocarcinoma but the chromatin is much darker in SCC than in adeno. Always remember you can never use one or two rules to assess a specimen. The American saying for that is: all the rules are made to break. It means:
Pay attention to CIN next time. You can even see nucleoli in CINs.
