This document summarizes the key points from an IFCPC Symposium on colposcopy nomenclature held in Berlin in September 2011. It outlines a proposed standardized nomenclature for: 1) General colposcopic assessments and abnormal findings including location, size, and grade of lesions. 2) Types of transformation zones (TZ) and dimensions for excision specimens. 3) A classification system for TZ excision treatments as Type 1, 2, or 3 excisions based on the type of TZ excised.
