Abstract
Background: Microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix is purely diagnosed by microscopic findings only. It has been poorly defined in the past and till today it is a focus of persistent controversy.
Aims and Objective: To determine the histomorphological features in Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia grade III (CIN-III) coexistence with Microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix.
Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study. Post operatively all the hysterectomy specimens were included in this study. These specimens were sent to histopathology lab for microscopic study. CIN-III diagnosed cases were taken in the present study to find out the coexistent microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix.
Results: Total cases for study were 270 hysterectomy specimens, out of which 63 were diagnosed as CIN-III and out of which seven cases were associated with microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix.
Conclusion: To conclude all the hysterectomy cases should be histopathological examined properly to exclude the association of microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix with CIN-III.
Keywords: Hysterectomy specimens, Microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix, CIN-III.
