pubmed-article:1064272 | pubmed:abstractText | A histopathologic diagnostic standard for abnormal epithelium of the uterine cervix, based on its biological behavior, has been proposed, and dysplasia and carcinoma in situ have been classified according to this standard. Benign dysplasia by this classification may be considered as a benign lesion, and only the lesion which satisfies the standard for atypical dysplasia should be considered as dysplasia, having a significance as a precursor to cervical cancer. This would be clinically convenient. | lld:pubmed |
