title: [Epidemiologic survey on viral lesions and CIS of the cervix: multicenter retrospective study in public and private centers].
abstract: Fifteen pathologists working in various laboratories contributed to a survey designed to evaluate the frequency of viral lesions and carcinoma in situ of the cervix. This study, based on almost 400,000 cervico-vaginal smears demonstrated that the lesions were fell into a relatively narrow range (between 0.2% and 3% of low-grade lesions, between 0.2 and 2% of high-grade lesions, total at risk lesions between 0.5 and 5.2%). The results were stable over time within the one center. Sub-typing of human papilloma viruses provides a more informative classification of the low-grade lesions in which the morphological frontier between carcinoma in situ and condyloma is often blurred and in which the detection of an oncogenic virus lead to more rapid treatment.
