Popis: In the period from 1985 to 1989, 2521 pregnant women, making up 18.7% of women in fertile age, were controlled in antenatal surgeries in the area of Baranja. In 73 (2.9%) women a cytologic picture of cervical atypia was found: in 2.1% of them there was a cytologic picture of light and moderate dysplasia (group IIIA), in 0.6% a picture of severe dysplasia (group IIIB), and in 0.2% pregnant women there was a picture of carcinoma in situ (group IV). Progression of cytologic findings into a higher stage was noted in 23.3% women, persistence was recorded in 21.9% and regression in 54.8% women. A total of 71.2% pregnant women with the cytologic atypia of the cervix were colposcopically examined. An abnormal colposcopic picture was found in 65.4% of them. By the end of the puerperium histologic verification was made in 38.4% cases and 61.6% were controlled only cytologically and colposcopically. By means of histologic examination of the tissue specimen, progression of an intraepithelial lesion into an invasive carcinoma was not found in any of the women. These results corroborate the point of view that in pregnant women with the cytologic atypia of the uterine cervix the histologic verification can be postponed until after the delivery without any considerable risk. Only in the case of a cytologic or colposcopic suspicion of invasion it is necessary to verify the finding histologically.
