2016年8月4日 · Figure 6.2 (a) Acetowhite change within the transformation zone showing the upper limit of the process (arrow) within the endocervical canal (1). The thick, abnormal (atypical) epithelium at (2) has stained extremely white and a sharp border (3) indicates the original squamocolumnar junction.
Colposcopic examination of the abnormal cervix - Colposcopy …
However, acetowhite changes associated with CIN are most often found localized in the TZ, abutting the SCJ and well demarcated from the surrounding epithelium. Low-grade lesions tend to be thin, less dense, and less extensive, with irregular, feathery, geographical, or angular margins and with fine punctation and/or mosaic.

The colposcopically visible abnormalities on the cervix are categorized into grade 1 (minor) changes, grade 2 (major) changes, or non-specific changes. These gradations take into consideration the acetowhite changes, blood vessel patterns (if any), and the changes after application of Lugol’s iodine.
Inflammatory lesions of the cervix - Colposcopy and Treatment …
Colposcopic appearance of cervicovaginitis. The epithelium of a mild infection may be minimally altered, but by the time it presents to a gynaecologist the appearances are usually very abnormal. Typically, there is a vascular response as well as evidence of epithelial damage.

2022年6月30日 · Identify the columnar epithelium, and upper limit of the TZ. Look for and note the following normal findings: ectopy, metaplastic squamous epithelium (mature or immature), nabothian cysts, crypt (gland) openings, deciduosis in pregnancy or atrophy. Aceto-white changes: Atypical vessels. Is this inside or outside the TZ?

Rapid appearance of acetowhitening: It is important for the colposcopist to note real-time changes while applying acetic acid to the cervix. If the white patch appears within a few seconds of application of acetic acid and persists for a long time, the acetowhite patch is most likely due to CIN2/CIN3 or invasive cancer.
Colposcopic Findings - Obgyn Key
2018年4月16日 · The 2011 International Federation for Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy nomenclature distinguishes between thin and dense acetowhite epithelium, the former being a minor change and the latter a major change. Rapid appearance of acetowhitening is also considered a major change.
Diagnosis Assistance in Colposcopy by Segmenting Acetowhite …
Applying acetic acid solution to the cervix changes the lesion’s appearance, making it white and appearing as a mosaic or dotted pattern. These changes enable us to estimate the presence and grading of CIN [3]. If CIN is suspected, a tissue sample is taken and a …
The colposcopic diagnosis of cervical neoplasia requires an understanding and recognition of four main features: colour tone and intensity of acetowhitening, margins and surface contour of acetowhite areas, vascular pattern and iodine staining. Colposcopy with directed biopsy is described as the reference
Colposcopic Evaluation of Preinvasive and Early Cervical Cancer
2017年8月25日 · Many preinvasive lesions lack abnormal vessels and are identified only by acetowhite epithelium. So the lack of abnormal vasculature does not imply lack of significance. A high-grade lesion devoid of surface vessels is due to gradual compression and depression of the normal capillary looped vessels within a nuclear dense lesion, preventing them ...
