Methods: Retrospective study of hysterectomy specimens received in the Department of Pathology, Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, from Jan 2011 to Dec 2015.
Results: A total of 1935 Hysterectomy specimens were included in the study. It was found that atrophic endometrium, leiomyoma and chronic cervicitis were the most common endometrial, myometrial and cervical pathologies seen in 30.5%, 41% and 90.5%of cases respectively.
