The aim of this study was to investigate the experience of the further management in 112 cases with histological diagnosis of incomplete excision of CIN in cone biopsy. Two groups of women were studied. The women in the first group (n = 78) had a second excision while the women in the second group (n = 34) underwent conservative management with cytology and colposcopy. The histologic, cytologic and colposcopic findings in the women of both groups were compared. From the first group 38% had a second cone, 62% an hysterectomy; in 5 cases the second cone was followed by hysterectomy and the histology was negative in 75% and 65%, respectively. No indication of residual disease was found within 2-10 years of follow-up in any of the women in the second group. According to our study and being aware of the natural history of CIN, we can conclude that the decision for further excision should not be based exclusively on the histology report of involved margins, but should only be taken after careful cytological and colposcopic selection of the cases.
