[Assessment of human papilloma virus colposcopic findings of the cervix (in the Italian colposcopic classification].

HPV-induced flat condylomatosis is not only much more frequently observed on the hexocervix than the florid type, but it also induces colposcopic changes in the epithelium without completely altering its morphology. HPV-induced changes have now been largely identified and are recognisable in colposcopy. They can therefore be classified in the various patterns that characterise colposcopically the transformation epithelium, with undeniable advantages not only from the point of view of their correct classification but also from that of their prognostic evaluation. This is important because viral modifications ANTZ have a different diagnostic and prognostic significance from those observable in the notice squamous epithelium. A classification proposal of the various findings of flat HPV condylomatosis based on italian colposcopic classification is therefore presented.
