Clinico-Pathological Study of Non-Neoplastic Lesions of Uterine Cervix with their Histopathological Categorization

The non-neoplastic lesions of the uterine cervix are frequently seen in the histopathology departments. Of the 821 cervical specimens received, 909 non-neoplastic lesions were evaluated. Most of the patients’ presented with vaginal bleeding, mass per vagina and white discharge. Based on histomorphology, the non-neoplastic lesions were divided into 3 categories i.e. Non-Infective NonAdaptative lesions [76.79%], Adaptative lesions [13.64%] and Infective lesions [9.57%]. These lesions have overlapping symptoms and were clinically misdiagnosed to be malignant neoplasm. Therefore, familiarity regarding histopathological examination of these nonneoplastic cervical lesions with categorization can assist in appropriate management and prevent complications. Hence, the present study was undertaken.
