At the Colposcopy Clinic, Hospital "Luis Castelazo Ayala", from January 1990 to May, 1991, 24 cases of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia, were diagnosed. The average age of the patients was 54.2 years. Twenty had antecedents of previous hysterectomy; seven (29%) with benign pathology, and twelve (50%) with malignant pathology. Only four patients (17%) presented with symptomatology. In all the cases it was suspected by abnormal cytology. Colposcopy was done, as well as directed biopsy, finding that the pointillism and white epithelium, were the most frequent findings, with localization mainly in the vaginal cupule and vaginal upper third. Histopathological correlation showed NIVa I in three cases (13%) NIVa II in six cases (25%), and NIVa III in 15 (62%). Treatment was done with cryotherapy in 10 patients; with 5-fluorouracil in eight; cryotherapy plus 5-fluorouracil in three; radiotherapy in two, and it was not done in one. It was found persistent lesion in two cases treated with cryotherapy, and in one case with radiotherapy; there was a complication in one case after cryotherapy (retrovaginal fistula). Vaginal cytology should be done in every patient after hysterectomy, by benign or malignant pathology. In NIVa the colposcopic study is mandatory for the adequate diagnosis. 5-Fluorouracil showed to be an adequate treatment.
