Abstract
Introduction: Non‑neoplastic and neoplastic cervical lesions are seen among women of all age groups but are more common in sexually active women. In developing countries, there is a lack of effective screening programs and vaccination due to which there is increased risk of cervical cancer.
Methods: A retrospective histopathological analysis of 690 cases of cervical lesions were undertaken in the department of pathology over a period of 5 year at Government Medical College haldwani, Uttarakhand.
Results: Out of 690 cases, Non-neoplastic lesion were seen in 570 cases (82.4%) while neoplastic lesion were seen in 120 cases (17.6%). The most commonly affected age group was 41-50 yr. Among non-neoplastic lesion most common histological finding was chronic cervicitis in premenopausal age group and squamous metaplasia in postmenopausal age group. Among neoplastic lesion, non-Keratinising squamous cell carcinoma was the most common finding in both premenopausal and postmenopausal age group followed by keratinising squamous cell carcinoma.
Keywords: Cervicitis, Squamous metaplasia.
