Abstract
Cervical carcinoma is an important women's health problem in the
Western countries. There are only few published data on this
disease in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The aim of this
study is to evaluate the abnormal cytological entities detected by
cervical Pap smear in Western region of KSA and to discuss the
importance of Pap smears screening programs. METHODS:
Retrospective review of all the cervical smears present at the King
Abdul-Aziz University Hospital, Jeddah, KSA from 1984 to 2000.
The reports of 22089 smears were retrieved from the file of the
pathology department. RESULTS: There were 368 (1.66%)
abnormal Pap smears out of 22089 smears. Out of these 368
abnormal Pap smears there were 62 (16.8%, mean age 37 year)
cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1, 45 (12.2%, mean age
38.5) cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2, 27 (7.3%, mean
age 40.5) cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3, 22 (6%, mean
age 38.5) positive for malignant cells, 36 (9.8%, mean age 40.5)
atypical endocervical cells, 88 (23.9%, mean age 39) atypical
squamous cells, 9 (2.4%, mean age 40.5) squamous metaplasia
with atypia, 26 (7.1%, mean age 45) squamous cell carcinoma, 6
(1.6%, mean age 36.5) reparative atypia, 2 (5.4% mean age 35)
herpes virus changes, 19 (5.1%, mean age 37.5) human papilloma
virus changes, 5 (1.4%, mean age 55) adenocarcinoma of
endometrium, and 7 (1.9%, men age 43.5) adenocarcinoma of
endocervix. CONCLUSION: Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and
invasive cervical carcinoma are less common in KSA compared to
the Western countries, however, cervical screening programs are
necessary nationwide to estimate the actual magnitude of cervical
carcinoma and its precursor lesions.
