Abstract

Aim of this study was to examine the frequency of cervical cancer and cervical intraepithelial lesions of a different degree in women, corelation between cytologically diagnosed CIN I, CIN II and CIN III lesions and colposcopic findings and corelation between cytologic and pathohistologic findings of CIN III lesion. Material and methods: Cytologic and colposcopic findings have been analysed retrospectively in 2652 women who went through systematic examinations in Women’s Health Care Department at Health Center “Dr.Mustafa Šehovic” Tuzla in period 2008-2011. For 93.2% (N=2475) cytology results were normal. Abnormal cytology result was found in 6.71% (N=178): CIN I in 5.54% (147), CIN II in 0.67% (18) and CIN III in 0.49% (13) of women examined. Results and discussion: Colposcopy in women with cytology results CIN I, CIN II and CIN III showed abnormal result in women with CIN I in 29.9% (44/147), CIN II in 61.1% (11/18) and CIN III in 61.5% (8/13). Significant association between abnormal colposcopic and abnormal cytologic findings (X²=36.30,p
