A morophological and immunocytochemical study was performed in 24 cases with non-neoplastic elongated cells in cervical smears. Non-neoplastic elongated cells were observed in 0.19% of cases and were divided into three cell types; type 1 showing cell cohesiveness and well-defined cell borders, type 2 having markedly elongated cytoplasms, and type 3 demonstrating isolated arrangement and unclear cytoplasmic borders. Both type 1 and type 2 cells showed postive keratin staining. We conclude that type 1 and type 2 elongated cells can be regarded as squamous epithelium or metaplastic cells. Type 3 cells did not react for keratin, vimentin or lysozyme. Therefore, we cannot speculate on the origin of these cells. The appearance of non-neoplastic elongated cells was not related to age, clinical diagnoses or menstrual cycles.
