Historical Perspective

• Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia was first discovered by Dr. Georgios Nikolaou Papanikolaou, a Greek pathologist, in 1927.
• In 1928, the first screening was developed by Aurel Babeș, a Romanian pathologist to diagnose cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.
• In 1980, human papillomavirus (HPV) was first identified in the pathogenesis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

Classification

• Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia has 4 cytological classifications: Bethesda system, Papanicolaou classification, CIN nomenclature, and dysplasia nomenclature.
• Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia may be classified according to Papanicolau into 3 subtypes:

• CIN1 (Grade I)
• CIN2 (Grade II)
• CIN3 (Grade III)

• Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia may be classified according to Bethesda system into 3 subtypes:

• Low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LGSIL)
