THE ROLE OF ATYPICAL COLPOSCOPIC FINDINGS OF TRANSFORMATION ZONE IN LOCALIZING THE LESIONS
Abstract
140 cases in which the appereance of cerviz in gynecological examination is suspicious were included to this study, A simultaneous
pap-smear with detailed cclposcopic examination was carried out on each case. Whenever the colposcopic anopearenco was abnormal and
pap-smear was positive, a biopsy specimen was taken from the suspected area in 44 cases. Different surgical procedures were carried out to 11 of these cases. Colposcopic appearence, pap-smear, biopsy and
the specimens from the surgical interventions were compared to find
the correlation between the cervical epithelial pathology and atypia
in colposcopic appereance. As a result, epitelial abnormality was
shown mostly in the area characterized with vascular atypia among
the other colposcopic examination findings (72,7 %).
