Swede score:

Swede score 0 1 2
Aceto uptake Nil or transparent Thin, milky Distinct, stearin
Margins Nil or diffuse Sharp but irregular, jagged, satellites Sharp and even, difference in level
Vessels Fine, regular Absent Coarse or atypical vessels
Lesion size < 5 mm 5-15 mm or 2 quadrants >15 mm, 3-4 quadrants, or endocervically undefined
Iodine uptake Brown Faintly or patchy yellow Distinctly yellow

Final Swede score: 1

Case Summary
Provisional diagnosis: Type 3 transformation zone; condyloma.

Management: Repeat colposcopy after 12 months.

Histopathology: Not done.

Comment: The lesions are in the cervix as well as the vagina. The raised margin, the finger-like projection with a single capillary at the centre of each projection, and the absence of acetowhitening are the characteristics of papilliferous condyloma.
