The task of updating the classification was given to the
Classification and Nomenclature Committee of the
International Society of Gynecological Pathologists and its
four subcommittees. This classification reflects the present
state of knowledge and modifications are almost certain to
be needed as experience accumulates. Since many of the
tumours and tumour-like conditions in the classification
occur in several sites in the female genital tract,
cross-referencing from one site to another has been done in
illustrating these lesions.
