Cervical Dysplasia
Cervical dysplasia refers to a medical condition of the
cervix in which squamous cells on the surface of the cervix undergo a
premalignant transformation. This abnormal growth (dysplasia) may lead
to the development of cervical cancer if left untreated. Cervical
dysplasia can be diagnosed by a biopsy of the cervix. An abnormal Pap
smear may lead to a recommendation for colposcopy of the cervix during
which the cervix is examined under magnification. A biopsy of the cervix
is taken of any abnormal appearing areas
