Similar to pap smear, colposcopy is also a non-invasive method but is expensive and thus it is used as typically to assess the presence, location, size, extent, as well as type of pre-cancer or cancer. Also, it is helpful in guiding the appropriate site for taking the biopsy for histopathological examination.Objective- To study the colposcopic findings of cervical lesions in patients and to differentiate between benign and malignant cervical lesions. Also, correlating the colposcopic findings with histopathological findings.
