I have had adenoca insitu or invasive presenting as persistant sevre cervicitis an more than one occasion, also true of squamous lesions. When I am fairly confident the lesion on colpscopy is CIN III or andeno ca insitu I do large leeps or cold knife cones on cases where colpo biopsies showed severe cervicitis, about 75 % of the time my colpo impressions was right.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
