Summary

Description

An unusually "clean" squamocolumnar junction of the uterine cervix, representing the boundary between the exocervix on the left, and the endocervix on the right. This is the "hot spot" where the tiny seedlings of dysplasia grow into the mighty oaks of cervical cancer. Accordingly, it's important to sample this area while collecting a Pap smear specimen.
