cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2
Also written as: CIN 2 — Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia Grade 2
Moderate dysplasia of cervical epithelium indicating precancerous changes requiring treatment intervention.
Full Definition
Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 (CIN 2) represents moderate dysplasia affecting two-thirds of the cervical epithelium thickness. This precancerous condition requires careful monitoring and often treatment to prevent progression to invasive cervical cancer. CIN 2 lesions are typically caused by high-risk HPV types and may regress spontaneously in younger patients but generally require treatment in older women.
Usage
Usage note: Always specify the grade number; distinguish from CIN 1 and CIN 3 in documentation.
