Contribution of endocervical curettage in evaluating abnormal cervical cytology.

Abstract:

:A review of 540 patients evaluated by the Gynecologic Colposcopy Clinic for abnormal cervical cytology revealed that 372 (68.9%) had cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), microinvasive carcinoma, or frank invasive carcinoma. The repeat cytologic smear taken before biopsy was falsely negative in 26.4%. An endocervical curettage was obtained in 52.5% of patients with an adequate colposcopy who had a neo-plastic lesion and was positive in 17.9% of those sampled, including six patients with no lesion found on the ectocervix. An endocervical curettage was obtained in 88.5% of patients with an inadequate colposcopy who had a neoplastic lesion, and was positive in 48.7%. All patients with an inadequate colposcopy not having an endocervical curettage underwent conization of the cervix. Twelve patients (2.2%) were ultimately found to have invasive or microinvasive carcinoma. A positive endocervical curettage and an inadequate colposcopy were both correlated with a final diagnosis of invasion. The contribution of endocervical curettage to the outpatient work-up of abnormal cervical cytology is substantial and it should be performed in all patients in whom cone biopsy is not planned.
