[Condylomas, cervical dysplasias and carcinoma of the cervix (author's transl)]

Because the greater number of viral cervical lesions, the authors recall their cytological and pathological pictures. In 30% of the causes, they have observed relations between flat condylomas and cervical severe dysplasias and carcinoma in situ. But in these last lesions, the cytological characters of the viral infestations are not visuable. The relationship between condyloma and carcinoma in situ is explained by the virus modifications on the germinative cells genoma which enhance great multiplication of these cells and inhibit the epidermoid differentiation. When the virus are not very active, or the host responses sufficient, the cell differentiation and maturation permit the replication of the virus and its appearance in the cytoplasm of the superficial cells. The authors stress on the complete destruction of the viral cervical lesions and the later control of the cervix.
