Histopathological spectrum of non-neoplastic lesions of the cervix

Abstract

Introduction: The uterine cervix is a significant gateway for non-neoplastic lesions in regular hysterectomies and biopsies from gynecological collections. Early detection of these cervical uterine lesions is improved by routine histological examination of suspected cases. Aims and Objectives: This study aims to examine the prevalence and histomorphological patterns of nonneoplastic cervical lesions in tertiary care centers, while also exploring different types of endocervical epithelial metaplasias. Materials and Methods: One hundred uterine cervical non-neoplastic lesion cases were assessed using cervical biopsy or hysterectomy tissues. The purpose of this study is to research various endoceevical malignancies and study the recurrence and histomorphological varieties of non-malignant cvervical pathologies at a tertiary care centre. Results: According to our research, persistent nonspecific cervicitis was present in 48% of cases. Chronic polypoidal endocervicitis was the most often seen endocervical epithelial lesion (20%) and squamous metaplasia (36%) and the uncommon lesions included micro glandular adenosis (3.2%), endocervical glandular hyperplasia (4%), diffuse laminar endocervical glandular hyperplasia (0.8%). Large number of ectocervical pathologies include koilocytic changes and prolapse varieties like hyperkeratosis. Conclusion: In regular histopathology specimens, the uterine cervix serves as the primary portal for non-neoplastic lesions. There are numerous non-neoplastic lesions that are extremely important to clinicians and pathologists since they are frequently overlooked, and the identification and treatment of these lesions is significantly neglected.
