ABSTRACT

Introduction: Cervical cancer is one of the most serious threats to the lives of women. In the world today, more than a million of them suffer from it. In Ecuador, it ranks second in incidence and causes 1.2 % of annual deaths in the country. Its timely detection is possible thanks to cervicovaginal cytology that contributes effectively to detecting precancerous lesions and significantly decreasing carcinoma of the cervix. The patient's study is complemented by colposcopy and biopsy to increase diagnostic certainty even when good diagnostic correlation has not been observed in some cases.
Objective: Determine the cyto-colpo-histological relationship in patients treated due to altered Papanicolaou, in consultation of Pathology of the Lower Genital Tract in Píllaro Basic Hospital. Ecuador.
Methods: In the present study, we reviewed 82 clinical records of patients treated with altered Papanicolaou in the Lower Genital Tract Pathology consultation at the Píllaro Basic Hospital, Ecuador from April 2015 to April 2016.
Results: 32.9 % of patients aged 30 to 39 years; 90.2 % started sexual intercourse throughout adolescence. 89 % had one to five sexual partners. 59.7 % had one to three deliveries. There was 21.4 % cyto-colposcopic correlation in the diagnosis of low-grade intraepithelial lesions (LSIL). The colpo-histological relationship showed 87.5 % of coincidences in the LSIL and 71.4 %. showed high-grade intraepithelial lesions (HSIL).
