    Case Summary
    Provisional diagnosis: Type 1 transformation zone; high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL).
     
    Management: LLETZ (type 1 excision).
     
    Histopathology: HSIL-CIN3.
     
    Comment: The lesion does not have the typical dense acetowhite area, due to erosion of the epithelium. Only patches of acetowhite with coarse mosaic pattern are visible.
