[Papillomatous changes in the cervix uteri]

A case of condyloma acuminatum of the uterine cervix and a case of papilloma on the cervix with concomitant adenocarcinoma of the cervix are described. The diagnostic biopsy revealed only the papillomatous lesion, whereas the adenocarcinoma was diagnosed in the surgical specimen after hysterectomy. Referring to the studies of Meisels et al. on condylomatous lesions of the cervix, the possible frequent incidence of this cervical lesion and its role as one possible first step in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer are discussed. The in toto excision is recommended because of diagnostic and therapeutic reasons. Clinical, colposcopic and cytologic check-up has to be done carefully for years after primary treatment.
