Histomorphological Evaluation of Non-Neoplastic Lesions of Uterine Cervix and a Correlation of the Lesion with the Clinical Factors.

Abstract

This study investigates the prevalence of non-malignant lesions of the cervix among various biopsy samples. This case study consists of 50 cases of cervical biopsy over almost two years. The case history and clinical details of the patients were obtained. 60% of the cases that participated in this study reported white discharge per vaginum as a common clinical symptom. 4 cases (8%) showed koilocytic changes specific to the human papillomavirus during the study. Only 2% of the non-specific cervicitis showed lymphoid aggregates. Endocervical changes projected papillary endocervicitis with 9 cases (18%), squamous metaplasia with 7 cases (14%), and nabothian follicle cyst with 3 cases (6%). It has been concluded that 50 cases were studied histologically, which had adequate representation of both ecto and endocervical tissue. Moreover, 31-40 years of age of patients showed the highest percentage of non-neoplastic lesions of the cervix when compared to other age groups.
