Materials and Methods: 315 non-neoplastic cervices were analyzed either from hysterectomy or biopsy specimens. These cervices were subjected to detailed gross and microscopic examination and further categorized into various non-neoplastic lesions.

Results: Of all the non-neoplastic lesions, a total of 291(92.38%) of cervical specimens shows cervicitis. Chronic nonspecific cervicitis was the most commonly encountered lesions in 85.56 % of all inflammatory lesions. However, acute or chronic cervicitis was found in only 18 cases (6.185%) and tuberculosis cervicitis was encountered in only one patient (0.343 %%). Cervicitis with koilocytic changes in HPV is present in (7.90%). The peak age for non-neoplastic lesion was 40 -60 years. Nabothian cyst (31.11%) and Squamous metaplasia (14.92%) were another common lesions present. Endocervical hyperplasia and endocervical polyp present in only 1.26% and 2.22% cases. Among the ectocervical changes, hyperplasia were the commonest and found in 12.06%.
