Proposed new colposcopic Terminologies

A.   Normal Colposcopic Findings 
       Original squamous eqithelium
       Columnar eqithelium
       Transformation zone

B.    Abnormal Colposcopic Findings
1.    Within the transformation zone 
       Acetowhite eqithelium 
       Punctation 
       Mosaic 
       Leukoplakia 
       Condyloma Accuminata 
       Subclinical Papillomavirus Infection 
       Atypical vessels

2.   Outside the transformation zone (e.g.ectocervix.vagina.vulva and penis)
      Acetowhite epithelium
      Punctation
      Mosaic
      Leukoplakia
      Condyloma Accuminata
      Subclinical Papillomavirus Infection 
      Atypical vessels

C.   Colposcopically suspect frank invasive carainoma
D.   Unsatisfactory colposcopic findings
E.   Miscellaneous findings
