Miscellaneous finding

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: Not possible (Iodine uptake missing)

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

Management: No further screening is required.

Histopathology: Not done.

Comment: Cervical stenosis possibly due to postpartum fibrosis.
