Abstract
To evaluate non‐neoplastic and neoplastic lesions of uterine cervix. Eighty specimens from hysterectomy, cervical polypectomy, and cervical biopsy obtained from the obstetrics and gynecology department were immersed in formalin and paraffin embedded sections were made for microscopic analysis. Haematoxylin and eosin stains were used on the sections. Histopathological diagnosis were established and reported based on microscopic observations. Tumors were histopathologically classified using the W.H.O. 2017 standards. Cervical specimens showed 14 cervical biopsy, 56 hysterectomies and 10 polypectomy. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). The non‐ neoplastic lesions were 68 and neoplastic were 12. Inflammatory lesions were seen in 53 and non‐neoplastic cervical glandular lesions in 15 cases. Neoplastic lesions were benign seen in 7, precursor lesions in 3 and malignant lesions in 2 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Benign lesions were endocervical polyp in 4, fibroepithelial polyp in 1 and leiomyomatous polyp in 2 cases. Malignant lesions were adenocarcinoma (1) and squamous cell carcinoma (1). The gold standard for diagnosis is a biopsy specimen examined histopathologically. The majority of cancers affecting the female genital system are cervical cancers.
