Abstract
The Occurrence and Pattern of Uterine Cervix Lesions in the Tropics: The Igbo Women of Eastern Nigeria Experience
Highlights
The diseases of the uterine cervix varied in presentations and two major types have been confirmed to be benign - i.e. soft tissue neoplasias, which long have been said to contain sufficient cellular pointer to stromal sarcoma advancement
It is obvious from this study that uterine cervix diseases occurrence and frequencies are not dependent on regional environment factors alone but may include histophysiologic stimulus and possibly sciophysiologic entities as precursors
The pattern of uterine cervix lesions may vary from one region to another which depends on all age groups and the health care standard
Summary
The diseases of the uterine cervix varied in presentations and two major types have been confirmed to be benign - i.e. soft tissue neoplasias, which long have been said to contain sufficient cellular pointer to stromal sarcoma advancement. The development of benign neoplasias of the uterine cervix is dependent upon factors or as natural differentiation occurs in association. When such potentiating factors are incidental, the frequency is not generally for the two basic types. Most common type is leiomyoma of the cervix which is said to account for 8% of all uterine leiomyoma [5]. These lesions may protrude as polyp into the endocervical canal at which position it is commonly considered as endocervical polyp. Leiomyoma of the uterine corpus origin appear with histologic resemblance with the other lesions but may have the potential of malignant simula-
