Comparison of suspicious and positive colposcopic, cytologic and histologic findings in the uterine cervix.
One hundred thirty-five cases of suspicious or positive colposcopic or cytologic findings were histologically analyzed. In cases of colposcopically detectable atypical changes or suspicious findings as well as of cytologic dysplasias or carcinomas, the histologic diagnoses were almost the same. The results demonstrated that colposcopy and cytology with a quick staining method are of value. Biopsy can quickly follow in cases of suspicious findings.
