title: Cervical pathology in young patients.
abstract: The authors have studied 152 patients aged between 15 and 20 year old who underwent colposcopy and colpocytology. They have compared the incidence of white colposcopic lesions with the results of the cytology. According to literature the results have pointed out that the very young patients are "at risk-patients" for serious cervical lesions and that depistage of gynecologic tumors must be done in all the other women.
