Introduction: Colposcopy is done to detect cervical cancer and changes that may lead to cervical cancer.
We aimed our study to observe the incidence of different pathologies of the cervix in Colposcopic
specimens in Rajshahi Medical College of Bangladesh.
Materials and Methods: Retrospective data were collected from the routine histopathological laboratory in the department of
pathology Rajshahi Medical College and were recorded during a study period of 1 year (July 2019 to June 2020).
Observations: Colposcopic biopsy is one of the commonest diagnostic procedures for assessing cervical Pathosis. Out of 641
specimens more than half, 365 specimens (56.50%) were Chronic Cervicitis. In present study, Chronic Cervicitis with squamous
metaplasia and Invasive squamous cell carcinoma became the 2nd, 16.39% (105 specimens), and 3rd, 13.42% (86 specimens)
most pathology involving the cervix. Cervical polyp, Endocervical and Leiomyomatous constitute 6.39% and 1.57% of the
specimens respectively. 4.36% (28 specimens) of the study sample were the Intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN I, CIN II, CIN III).
Adenocarcinoma and Clear cell carcinoma constitute 0.79% and 0.16% of the study specimens. 50 % of the cervical squamous
cell carcinoma was moderately differentiated and well-differentiated and poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma
constitutes 30.23% and 19.77% respectively.
Conclusions: Colposcopic examination of cervical biopsy specimens helps to detect the exact causes and underlined
pathology
