CERVICAL INTRAEPITHELIAL NEOPLASIA (CIN1, CIN2, CIN3)
Dysplasia of the
cervix
epithelium
, often pre-malignant (i.e., cancerous), characterized by various degrees of
hyperplasia
, abnormal keratinization (forming horny epidermal
tissue
) and condylomata. Considerable evidence implicates
human
papilloma
virus (
HPV
) in the development of CIN.
Immunosuppression
may also play an important role in facilitating
infection
or persistence of
HPV
in the genital tract and progression of HPV-induced neoplasia. See also
