title: Histogenesis of spontaneous regression of cervical intraepithelial neoplasias.
abstract: It is justifiable to assume that a spontaneous regression of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia is in progress when pathologic epithelium is replaced by normal epithelium. Very rare histologic pictures of this process are shown. Dysplastic squamous epithelium or intraepithelial carcinomas become detached from their bases and are pushed up by replacement tissue in the form of normal squamous or columnar epithelium.
