The conclusion arrived at after a review of the relevant literature, coupled with current knowledge of the morphophysiological changes which take place in the transformation zone of the cervix, is that the term cervical erosion is an anachronism. The term should therefore be abandoned. More appropriate terms for the clinical appearance of the cervix are ectropion or ectopy. The metaplastic process and its role in neoplasia is also discussed.
在回顾相关文献并结合目前对子宫颈转化区发生的形态生理变化的了解后得出的结论是，“宫颈糜烂”这一术语已过时。因此，该术语应予以摒弃。对于子宫颈的临床表现，更合适的术语是外翻或异位。本文还讨论了化生过程及其在肿瘤形成中的作用。
