Abstract

Background: For centuries, the female reproductive system has been affected by various abnormalities and diseases and hence has been the subject of interest and the basis for the gynaecological practice. The uterus being a vital reproductive and hormone responsive organ is subjected to a variety of physiological changes and benign and malignant disorders.

Aim: The study was undertaken to see different patterns of histopathological lesions in uterus and cervix in hysterectomy specimens.

Methodology: This was a retrospective study of histopathological findings of uterus and cervix in 50 specimens over a period of 1 year. Data was tabulated and analyse.

Results: Total 50 cases were included in the study. Age of patient ranged from 28-65 years. 50 % of cases were found in 41-50 age group. Leiomyoma 33 cases (66%) was the common histopathoogical finding followed by combined leiomyoma and adenomyosis accounting for 7 cases (14%). Non-specific cervicitis 39 cases (78%) was the common histopathological finding in cervical lesion followed by 3 cases (6 %) of dysplasia cervix.

Conclusion: The most common benign lesion in uterus was found to be leiomyoma followed by adenomyosis combined with leiomyoma while non- specific cervicitis was found in cervical lesion in hysterectomy specimen.
