%0 Journal Article %T COLPOSCOPIC EXAMINATION IN CYTOLOGY NEGATIVE WOMEN WHO TESTED POSITIVE FOR NON-16/18 HPV TYPES %A Ramazan Denizli %J - %D 2019 %X Objective: To assess the colposcopic examination findings and biopsy results in women who tested positive for oncogenic Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) types other than HPV-16 and 18 while having otherwise normal Pap test results. Material and Method: This paper analyzes the results from a total of 300 women who tested positive for non-16/18 HPV types but had otherwise normal Pap test and underwent a colposcopic examination in our hospital between January 2017 and December 2017. The study subjects presented with postcoital bleeding, had a family history of cancer or exhibited macroscopic examination findings which were suspected to be malign. A co-test was scheduled one year later for 39 patients (13%) who had no lesions suspected of malignancy and a colposcopy-guided tissue sample was performed on 261 patients. Results: Histological examination results included inflammation (in 186 patients [62%]), CIN 1 (in 61 patients [20.33%]), CIN 2 (in 9 patients [3%], CIN 3 (in 3 patients [1%]) and cervical cancer (in 2 patients [%0.67]). Conclusion: One should keep in mind that a diagnosis of CIN 2 or more severe lesions or even cervical cancer can be made using a colposcopy-guided biopsy in women who test positive for non 16/18 HPV types but have otherwise normal Pap smear test %K Human papilloma virus (HPV) %K Smear tabakas£¿ %K uterin servikal displazi %K serviks kanseri %K kolposkopi %U http://dergipark.org.tr/iuitfd/issue/47200/594261
