Abstract

Microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix has been poorly defined in the past and is still a focus of persistent controversy. Aims: To determine the histological features in Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3) associated with Microinvasion squamous cell carcinoma of cervix. Methods: This is one year prospective study. All the hysterectomy specimens were studied histologically and the CIN 3 cases were taken in the study to find the associated microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma of cervix. Results: Out of 310 hysterectomy specimens, 54 were diagnosed as CIN 3 out of which 6 cases showed coexistence of microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma of cervix. Conclusion: When the features of CIN3 present in a biopsy specimen, serial sections should be performed to exclude the presence of microinvasion carcinoma of cervix.
