Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia Grade 3 in the Third Trimester of Pregnancy: A Case Report

Laksh S Agrawal et al. Cureus. .

Abstract

The incidence of malignancies during pregnancy has been on the rise in the recent years, primarily due to an increase in older age pregnancies. This poses a significant risk to both the mother and the developing fetus. We present the case of a 29-year-old woman who experienced intermittent vaginal bleeding during her pregnancy. In the last trimester, the patient presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. The gestational age was 37.6 weeks. Notably, to our knowledge, there have been no reported cases of grade 3 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in the third trimester.

Keywords: cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (cin); high risk pregnancy; hpv-dna; human papillomavirus; pregnancy trimester third.
