High-Yield Explanation
Human papilloma viruses (HPV) has one of Histologic feature in the form of cytoplasmic vacuoles and enlargement of Nucleus with hyperchromasia called as Koilocytosis. Altered keratinisation paicularly Hyperkeratosis and dyskeratosis is also seen. Cervical intraepithelial Neoplasm (CIN) occurs at the transitional zone.
