Abstract :

INTRODUCTION Cervix is a path to various non neoplastic as well as neoplastic lesions. Cervical cancer is the leading cancer in Indian women and the second most common cancer among the women. It arises from the precancerous lesions including intraepithelial neoplasia and can be detected with adequate screening and be treated to prevent the progression to invasive carcinoma. METHODS This is a 2-year retrospective study of all cervical biopsies received from 2017-2019 in the department of pathology RESULTS Total of 131 cases were included in the study.71 cases came out to be non-neoplastic, 20 were pre invasive, 40 came out to be malignant lesions. Non-specific Cervicitis was the most common non neoplastic lesion. Amongst the malignant lesion, squamous cell carcinoma was the most common lesion encountered. The most common age group in the malignant cases were 5th and 6h decade of life. CONCLUSION Adequate cervical screening with follow up by cervical biopsies help in early detection and treatment of various cervical lesions. Detailed histomorphological study of the cervical lesions and their categorization is of utmost importance.
