Conization is a crucial component of the diagnosis and, more importantly, the management of neoplasia found by cytology. We attempted to incorporate conization into the diagnosis and treatment toolkit for precancerous conditions of the uterine cervix in light of a retrospective series of 15 cases. It is required for the diagnosis of microinfestation and enhances the diagnostic yield offered by cytology and biopsy by itself or when guided by colposcopy. In 82% of the cases in our series, the FCU was in agreement with conization, but in 12% of the cases, it overstated the lesion. In 67% of cases, a biopsy resulted in an appropriate diagnosis. In 20% of cases, it overstated the lesions, and in 12% of cases, it underestimated them.
