A case report of postirradiation dysplasia with a long-term follow-up

Abstract

A case of postirradiation dysplasia which occured 3 years after radiotherapy for the uterine cervix cancer was reported with a longterm follow-up and close cytologic observation. Cytologic findings showed smaller cell and nuclear area, larger relative nuclear area, and more frequent irregular cytoplasmic configulation as compared with those in nonirradiated dysplasia. This lesion was followed up during 2 and a half years, and some cytologic changes were observed. The patient was finally treated by bleomycin ointment.
