J Low Genit Tract Dis. 2005 Oct;9(4):230-1. doi: 10.1097/01.lgt.0000179863.52327.87.

Abstract

A case of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) of the cervical stump is presented. Human papillomavirus DNA testing before elective supracervical hysterectomy may identify patients with increased risk for future development of CIN and aid in preoperative counseling for the type of surgical procedure performed.
