Placenta increta into the scar in combination with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion of the cervix

Placenta increta is a pathological condition characterized by an invasion of placental tissue into the myometrium. The placenta doesn’t detach naturally after delivery and cannot be separated without pathological hemorrhage. Previous cesarean section represents the main risk factor for the occurrence of placenta accreta. Pregnancy-related tissue changes complicate the identification of co-existing diseases of the cervix and uterine body. This case report discusses the characteristics and diagnostic methods of placenta increta in combination with cervical high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia in a 35-year-old female patient.
