Abstract
Flexible magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging (ME-NBI) has outstanding diagnostic correctness for gastrointestinal metaplasia and is hoped for being highly useful in the diagnosis of cervical metaplasia. This study aims to detect the feature findings and access the diagnostic power of ME-NBI for diagnosis of cervical metaplasia.
Highlights
Cervical metaplasiaMetaplasia defined as a transformation from one mature cell type to a second mature
This study indicates that ME-NBI may have novel value for metaplasia diagnosis without use of acetoacetic acid or Lugol’s iodine
At birth there is an abrupt junction between the squamous epithelium of the ectocervix [the original squamous epithelium] and the columnar epithelium of the endocervix
Summary
Cervical metaplasiaMetaplasia defined as a transformation from one mature cell type to a second mature. Metaplasia begins the movement of the original squamocolumnar junction onto the portion, usually as a result of estrogen production or interval vaginal deliveries. Through exposure to estrogen [at birth, during puberty, and throughout reproductive life], the glycogen in the exfoliated cells of the vagina is converted into lactic acid, accounting for the acidity of the vaginal secretions [pH
