[Chromo-colposcopic images during oral contraception]. / Immagini cromocolposcopiche in corso di contraccezione orale.

ABSTRACT

The Authors report chromocolposcopic pictures with AZEA (Azure 2 + alcohol-soluble eosine + ethanol) and related histologic pictures in six women under oral contraception. Columnar epithelium develops violet or blue-violet areas histologically corresponding to endocervicitis. Aceto-white epithelium develops reddish color in case of medium-mature metaplasia, brown-violet in case of mature metaplasia, lilac in case of superficial koilocytosis on metaplasia. Native epithelium appears dark brown, or yellow-brown in case of koilocytosis.
