If the endocervical tissue is damaged, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider for evaluation and management. Treatment may involve monitoring the area for healing or addressing any underlying issues, such as infections or cervical abnormalities. In some cases, procedures like cauterization or surgery may be recommended to repair the damage. Follow-up care is essential to ensure proper healing and prevent complications.
Endocervical curette.
Endocervical curettage-- Biopsy performed with a curette to scrape the mucous membrane of the cervical canal.
An endocervical tissue specimen is typically obtained using a special tool called a cervical curette or endocervical brush. These tools are inserted into the cervix to collect a tissue sample for further examination or testing.
ECC stands for endocervical curettage. During a colposcopy, ECC is typically taken as a biopsy of the endocervical canal.
The CPT code for an endocervical biopsy is 58100. This code is used for the excision or biopsy of the cervix, specifically for procedures involving the endocervical canal. It is important to ensure that documentation accurately reflects the procedure performed for proper coding and billing.

When endocervical components are present in a cervical cytology sample, it indicates that cells from the endocervical canal, the inner part of the cervix, have been collected. This is significant as it can help in assessing the health of the cervix and detecting potential abnormalities, including precancerous changes or infections. The presence of these cells often suggests that the sampling was adequate and may provide valuable diagnostic information.
