Background:A crucial reproductive organ, the uterus is prone to numerous benign and malignant illnesses. The present study was conducted to assess histopathological analysis of uterus specimens. Materials & Methods:60 uterus specimens obtained in the Department of General Pathology were selected. The pathologists grossed the specimens, and the tissues were processed in the tissue processor for a whole night. In the microtome, blocks were formed and sections were cut to a thickness of 4 microns. The Histotechnicians stained these slices using haematoxylin and eosin, a standard stain. Results: The age group 20-30 years had 7, 31-40 years had 23, 41-50 years had 21 and >50 years had 9 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05).Histopathological findings were inflammatory endocervical polyp in 13, adenomyosis in 7, benign leiomyoma in 6, chronic myometritis in 5, chronic cervicitis in 3, endometrial hyperplasia in 16, atrophic endometrium in 6 and endometritis in 4 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion:Although there are many treatment options available now, such as conservative surgery and medication, hysterectomy is still the most recommended way to treat gynecological problems. The most frequent uterine lesions were endometrial hyperplasia and inflammatory endocervical polyp.
