[Precancerous and malignant tumors of the uterine cervix]

Bioptic findings recorded in 366 women with lesions of the endocervix and exocervix were analyzed in a retrospective study covering the years 1988 to 1990. The series represented 24.5% of the total number of 1495 gynecological precancerous and tumorous changes. Severe dysplastic changes and malignant tumors of the endocervix were seen in 31 patients (19.4%). Concurrence of endocervical and exocervical lesions was recorded in 66 patients (18.0%). In the studied series 35% of the women were below the age of 40 years. Signs of koilocystic dysplasia were recorded in 72 women (37%) with precancerous and tumorous lesions. (Fig. 4, Ref. 15.)
