Multicentric neoplasia of the lower female genital tract - A case report of neoplastic change at an unusual site

Abstract

The widespread use of cervical cytology screening has identified a considerable group of patients with cervical neoplasia. The combination of the colposcopic examination and local treatment cures a large percentage of such patients but long-term follow-up is essential to detect subsequent CIN and to detect epithelial neoplastic changes elsewhere in the lower genital tract. The introitus around the periurethral area has not been stressed as a possible site of neoplastic change. The present case summary concerns a patient with both cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN) who then developed intraepithelial neoplasia at this uncommon site.
