Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Utero cervix usually constitutes the majority of specimens received at histopathology section in department of pathology. A variety of rare but interesting lesions may occur in the cervix and create problems in diagnosis. Difficulties in distinction from well-differentiated adenocarcinoma can result in potentially major adverse consequences for the patient in the form of inappropriate therapy. Such, detailed histomorphological study of the non neoplastic lesions of the cervix are helpful in this regard. The study included 833 specimens of uterine cervix obtained either in the form of biopsies or hysterectomy specimens. These cervices were subjected to detailed gross and microscopic examination and were further classified into various non-neoplastic lesions. A total of 16 types of benign lesions were encountered in the study. Chronic cervicitis (non specific) is the most frequently occurring lesion, seen in 678 (81.39%) cases, least common are decidual change in 1 (0.12%) , endometriosis in 1 (0.12%) , and tuberculosis in 1 (0.12%) . During the study, a number of non-neoplastic lesions of the cervix were encountered, which caused a great deal of morbidity to the patients. This study is an attempt to study these more common but less frequently published lesions. Keywords: uterine cervix, benign lesion, histomorphological, chronic cervicitis, morbidity, inappropriate therapy.
