Journal Title: IP Journal of Diagnostic Pathology and Oncology - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Aim of the study was to know various histopathological variants in cervical lesion, its incidence with respect to age in Ambejogai city of Maharashtra. Materials & Methods: A total of 618 cases of cervical lesions were analysed prospectively in a period of 2 years during September 2013 to August 2015 to assess various pattern of cervical lesion. Cases were studied in detail about history, clinical examination and other findings. Results: Of the total 618 cases, 516 (83.50%) were non neoplastic all of which were inflammatory and 102(16.5%) were neoplastic of which cervical malignancies, benign lesions and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) constituted 80(12.94%), 12(1.94%) and 10(1.62%) respectively. Amongst inflammatory lesions, the commonest lesion was chronic nonspecific cervicitis 428(82.95%) followed by papillary endocervicitis 88(17.05%). The associated changes of chronic nonspecific cervicitis were nabothian cyst (11.92%), squamous metaplasia (11.68%), and koilocytic change (22.43%). Inflammatory lesions were commonly found in the sexually active period of women i.e. 31-50 years with a peak incidence in the age group of 31-40 years. Cervical malignancies were common in the age group of 40-60 years and presented most commonly with bleeding per vagina.
