CIN 3 in pregnancyFrom: John Teo (mstmy@tm.net.my)Thu Aug 26 07:59:20 1999
I have a 37 years old patient Para 1 whose pap smear showed mild dyskaryosis. A colposcopy showed some acetowhite areas and a cervical biopsy was performed. Diathermy of the area was also performed in the same sitting. The biopsy result came back as CIN3. Unfortunately she is found to be 12 weeks pregnant. Any comments about the situation? My plan now is to do colposcopic surveilliance during her pregnancy making sure that there is no invasive features and then offer her LLETZ post delivery. Questions 1) Does anybody agree with above? 2) Assuming that she is not pregnant, does anybody think that diathermy is an adequate treatment? I would have thought that it may not be adequate as you may not be sure of the depth of the lesion you destroy and even the extent of it with the concept of field change. Therefore excision method such as LLETZ would be more appropriate follow up treatment I presume. Any comments? 3) Finally any place for less extensive treatment for CIN 3 other than the commonly offered LLETZ or Cone biopsy?

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.
