[Assessment of positive cytologic and/or colposcopic findings in the uterine cervix in pregnancy].

When cytologic and colposcopic findings are atypical during pregnancy, a differentiated diagnostic approach is necessary for the sake of an undisturbed course of pregnancy. Scraping of the portio with cervical curettage--a procedure with a low complication rate--for provisional diagnosis (to rule out an invasive carcinoma) permits a definitive diagnosis to be established after lying-in. Problems are pointed out.
