Pregnancy-Related Precancerous Cervical Lesions: Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, Evolution, and Impact upon Gestation and Fertility

More common than cervical cancer, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) represents a precursor lesion of cervical carcinoma, being associated with HPV infection. Due to the bidirectional relationship between HPV and estrogen and progesterone in pregnancy, most of the published data claim that precancerous lesions remain stable or even regress during pregnancy, although several studies have indicated the tendency of HSILs to persist. It is considered that pregnancy-related cervical precancerous lesions undergo a postpartum regression, due to stimulatory effects of the immune microenvironment. Due to the rarity of publications on this subject, we aimed to offer a concise overview of and new insights into the current knowledge regarding the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and evolution of pregnancy-associated precancerous lesions, as well as their impact upon gestation and fertility.

The study aimed to provide information about the prevalence of various cervical lesions diagnosed by Papanicolaou smear tests among women in the city of Derna, in eastern Libya. The reporting of the Pap smears is based on the 2014 Bethesda system. The study included seventy-two cervical Pap smears cytology received at the Noor-AL-Huda Medical Center Pathology Laboratory in Derna City, east of Libya, and processed using conventional smear techniques. The data was gathered retrospectively from March 2022 to August 2023. A total of 72 cervical Pap smears were included in the study. The majority of the cases reported were Negative for Intraepithelial Lesions or Malignancy (NILM) 54 (75%). Out of the 72 reports, 2 (2.7%) were unsatisfactory. Low-grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions (LSIL) were found in 8 cases (11.11%), and 4 (5.5%) were High-grade Intraepithelial Lesions (HSIL). Atypical Squamous Cells cannot exclude HSIL (ASC-H) were found in 4 cases (5.5%). LSIL and HSIL were more common among women aged 30-40 years. The age of the patients included in this study ranged from 30 to 56, with a mean age of 40 years. These findings emphasize the importance of a well-organized cervical screening program. In particular, women over 30 years should be educated about the importance of Pap smears and encouraged to undergo regular screening.
