Diagnostic procedures during the detection of cervical intraepithelial lesions (CIN) are a combination of cytology, colposcopy, punch biopsy and endocervical curretage. An optimal therapeutic approach according to the distribution, size and grade of cervical lesions is the result of this diagnostic protocol. This study was carried out to assess reliability of the punch biopsy and endocervical curretage in diagnostics of cervical intra-epithelial lesions. ⋯ There was a positive cor relation between the CIN grades in punch and cone biopsy, as well as between the grade on the endocervical curretage and cone biopsy specimen, but with the lower degree than previous.
