Abstract

Background and objectives: Like in other developing countries, cancer of cervix is one of the leading malignancies in women in Nepal. In Nepal cervical pap-smear screening is not done my most of due to lack of awareness. The objective of this study is to find the prevalence of abnormal cervical epithelial lesions.

All tissue blocks of cervical tissues were retrieved, stained by Haematoxyline and Eosin (H & E) stain and re-examined. All the case was reviewed by consultant pathologist of Birat medical college.
