Spectrum of abnormal epithelial lesions of cervix in a tertiary care teaching hospital in South India
Abstract
Introduction: Cervical cancer is the leading cause of death in developing countries like India. Cervical cytology by papanicolaou (pap) smears is an effective means of screening for cervical premalignant and malignant lesions.
Aim: To study the role of pap smear in detecting premalignant and malignant lesions of cervix and to determine the prevalence of various lesions.
Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study of 1030 conventional pap smears reported from the Department of Pathology, Government Medical College, Anantapuramu. The time period was from October 2014 – September 2016.
Results: In our study out of 1030 cases, inflammatory smears were reported in 713 cases (69.22%), Epithelial cell abnormalities were found in 71 smears(6.89%), atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) in 27 (2.62%), AGUS in 0.10%, LSIL in 25 cases (2.43%), HSIL in 1.26% cases and invasive squamous cell carcinoma in 5 (0.48%) cases.
