Aims: To study the clinical presentation of cervical carcinoma correlating with histopathological findings in the Charutar area of Gujarat state at Shree Krishna Hospital, Karamsad. Methods and Material: 68 specimens received from 15 April 2015 to 14 April 2016 with clinical suspicion of cervical carcinoma and histopathologically confirmed were considered for study. Clinical details of the patients were noted with the help of semi-structured proforma. Statistical analysis used: The data was Statistically analyzed using STATA 14 software. Results: Out of 68 confirmed cases for malignancy, 43 (63.24%) had large cell non keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (LCSCC), 34 (50%) were presented with abnormal bleeding per vaginum, 47 (69.12%) were seen between 41-60 years, 66 (97.06%) were multiparous, 48 (70.59%) had poor genital hygiene, 42 (61.76%) were illiterate, 44 (64.70%) were from low economic class, only 03 (4.41%) had history of cervical cancer screening. Conclusion: The most common cervical cancer in this region of India is squamous cell carcinoma. Majority patients had complained of bleeding per vaginum, between 41- 60 year, multiparous, had poor genital hygiene & illiterate. The study concludes that screening of cervical cancer should be emphasised in women especially in rural areas for early detection of cancer and reduce mortality and morbidity in productive age.
