AB A  23-year-old  woman  has  a  low-grade  squamous  intraepithelial  lesion  on  her  Papanicolaou  (Pap)  test.  One  colposcopic  view  of  her  cervix  shows  acetowhite  changes  consistent  with  a  cervical  intraepithelial  neoplasia  grade  1  lesion  (CIN  1)  (Figure  89-1).  She  has  no  other  suspicious  findings  and  biopsy  of  the  acetowhite  area  confirms  CIN  1.  The  endocervical  curettage  is  negative  for  disease.  During  the  follow-up  visit,  the  doctor  and  patient  together  decide  to  proceed  with  watchful  waiting  and  repeat  Pap  tests  at  6  and  12  months.
