Analysis of colposcopic findings of high-risk HPV positive women with unsatisfactory cervical cytology

Abstract

Aim: We aimed to analyze the colposcopic directed biopsy results of women with unsatisfactory cervical cytology and high-risk human papilloma virus (HPV) positivity, who were referred to the Gynecologic Oncology outpatient clinic from Cancer Early Diagnosis and Screening Centers. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, women with high-risk HPV subtypes who applied to our clinic between March 2015 and October 2017 with an inadequate cervical cytology underwent colposcopy-directed biopsy. Patients were grouped according to HPV types. The results of endocervical curettage, cervical biopsy, and cervical conization were analyzed. Results: Forty-six patients with unsatisfactory cervical cytology and high-risk HPV were included in this study during the 30-month period. Twenty-five (54.3%) of the patients had “non-16 non-18” HPV subtypes, while 21 (45.7%) had HPV 16 and/or HPV 18. Cervical biopsy results revealed high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (H-SIL) in 5 (10.9%) patients, low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (L-SIL) in 17 (37%), “HPV effect” in 4 (8.7%) and normal histopathology in 20 (43.5%) patients. The endocervical curettage revealed three (6.5%) women with H-SIL and seven (15.2%) with L-SIL. Seven (15.2%) patients underwent conization due to H-SIL and there were three H-SIL with negative margins and four L-SIL in the final histopathology report. Conclusion: Performing colposcopy seems to be crucial for women with inadequate cervical cytology and high-risk HPV regardless of HPV subtypes as there is an increased risk of H-SIL in this patient population.
