Explanation [[Explanation::The patient presents with an abnormal pap-smear that displays the presence of koilocytes, abnormal cells infected by the human papilloma virus (HPV). The image illustrated above depicts a normal cervical cell on the left, and a koilocyte on the right side, which contains a characteristic large nuclei with a perinuclear halo.

HPV is a sexually transmitted infection (STI). The virus is a double-stranded, non-envolved DNA virus. Among the most significant HPV types are HPV type 16, 18, 31, 33, and 45, which predispose to cervical cancer, and 6, 11, 42, 43, and 44 which frequently result in genital warts.
