BACKGROUND: This report describes a case of a @entity1 with progressive and recurrent @entity3799 4 years after cervical conization for severe @entity1141 . @entity1 AND METHODS: A 20-year-old female was referred for colposcopy and biopsy following results of moderate to severe atypia of cervical cells on her Papanicolaou (Pap) test. Her colposcopy was satisfactory and her biopsy revealed @entity3146 ( @entity3146 ) II, III. She refused the conventional recommendation of loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) and, as an alternative, elected to receive escharotic treatment at a frequency of 2 treatments per week for 5 weeks. In addition to the escharotic treatment she followed an oral vitamin and botanical protocol. She was followed for 5 years. RESULTS: The @entity1 's 4-month and 10-month follow-up Pap smears revealed negative cervical cytology for intraepithelial lesion or @entity5 . Her 10-month colposcopy was satisfactory and no lesions were noted on the colposcopic exam. Liquid based Pap results continued to remain normal for 5 years after the initiation of treatment. DISCUSSION: Escharotic treatment of high-grade cervical @entity5 with satisfactory colposcopy holds promise as an effective and low-risk alternative therapy to LEEP and other excisional procedures.
