Unlabelled:
Cytological and histopathological examinations performed in pregnant women allow quick for diagnosis of these pathological states.
Material And Methods:
35 pregnant women with cervical dysplasia or carcinoma treated in Department of High Risk Pregnancy from 1996 to 2001 were included in the study. Diagnosis was based on the cytological and histological tests.
Results:
We observed 10 cases of low-grade dysplasia and 8 cases of medium grade dysplasia. Both groups were qualified for vaginal delivery and treatment was started after delivery. In 12 pregnant women high-grade dysplasia was diagnosed (in 6 of them cervical conization between 16 and 26 week of pregnancy was performed). In 5 women cervical carcinoma in pregnancy was diagnosed. In 3 of them we performed cesarean section with radical operation between 34 and 40 week of gestation.
Conclusion:
Cytological and histological examination in pregnant women with cervical abnormalities should be obligatory because of high rate of dysplasia and cancer in pregnant women.
