Abstract
ABSTRACT
One hundred seven teenage women were referred to the colposcopy clinic in Ninewells Hospital over an 11-year period from 1976 to 1987. Ninety-five were referred with abnormal cytology and 12 with vulval warts. One hundred patients had a colposcopically directed cervical biopsy taken. Of these, 49 had no dysplasia, 10 had CIN I, 19 had CIN II, and 22 had CIN III. There was no case of microinvasion or invasive carcinoma of the cervix in this age group over the 11 years studied. Obstetric and contraceptive histories are reviewed, and the value of colposcopy in this age group is discussed. (J GYNECOL SURG 5:385, 1989)
