Colposcopy.

Abstract

Colposcopy is the ideal method of establishing the site, nature and extent of abnormal areas of the uterine cervix or vagina. Use of the three modalities of cytology, colposcopy and histology will enable an accurate diagnosis to be made. Appropriate, well documented treatment can be planned and confirmed under anaesthesia. Follow-up of treated lesions can also be accurately performed.

Unsuspected involvement of the female genitalia in pemphigus vulgaris.

A 56-year-old woman had erosions due to pemphigus vulgaris in the inner thighs and perineum. The cutaneous lesions cleared following intramuscular gold therapy. However, because of complaints of dyspareunia, a colposcopic examination was performed and involvement of the cervix was demonstrated. The need for a vaginal examination in the monitoring of pemphigus vulgaris is emphasized.
