Histopathological study of cervical lesions in a tertiary care hospital
Anil Kumar, Abhishek Rajendra Wadgaonkar

Aim: To conduct a histopathological examination of cervical lesions at a tertiary care hospital. Methods and materials: After receiving clearance from the protocol review committee and the institutional ethics committee, this prospective observational research was carried out at the Department of Pathology. In this study, we included 80 patients of any age or religion who came to the hospital. A brief history was taken, including chief complaints, obstetric history, and relevant history, and cervical biopsies or hysterectomy specimens were sent to the pathology department for histopathological confirmation. Results: During the current research period, a total of 80 specimens obtained from the department of gynaecology were processed and reported. The most prevalent age group impacted in our research was 35-45 years (42.5 percent ) Out of 80 instances, 60 (75 percent) were classified as non-neoplastic lesions, 17(21.25%) as preinvasive intraepithelial alterations, and 3 (3.75 percent) as neoplastic lesions. In this research, 45 percent of the cases were cervicitis, 9 percent were nabothian cysts, and 5 percent were endocervical polyps. CIN-I alterations were the most prevalent preinvasive intraepithelial lesion (13.75 percent). Conclusion: Because our investigation uncovered a wide range of cervical abnormalities, early diagnosis and care of specific lesions may help reduce morbidity.
