This study was performed ta evaluate difference of colposcopic findings between carcinoma in situ and microinvasive carcinoma. From August l, 1988 through November 30,1989, the conixation was undertaken in 138 patients. We compeied colposcpic findings with hiatologic diagnoiis on 1656 seetions. Comparison between the microinvasive carcinorna and the carcinoma in situ groups showed a significant higher incidence of large exoeervtcal lesion size(>3/2 33.9% vs. 1.2%), circumscribved location around external cervical os.(75.0% vs, 51.2%), combined abnormal colposcopic findings(19.6/a vs. 3. 7%) and deep endocervical involvement( >lcm : 23,2% vs. 7. 3%). (P<0.01) Granular area was showed 11% incidence of the worst histologic diagnosis.
