Foundation: cytological study in the most important of the programs for early detection of cervical uterus cancer. The most frequently atypia found was squamous cells of undetermined significance. Objective: to determine the incidence of squamous cells of undetermined significance in the consultation of Cervix Pathology at the Gyneco-Obstetric University Hospital Mariana Grajales. Method: it was a cross-sectional study in a universe constituted by the 206 patients referred to the cervix pathology consultation during the year 2011. The sample was 120 women from the organic cytology registration book at the pathological anatomy department of the Hospital, who had all the required data with a report of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance. The studied variables were: age in years completed at the time of diagnosis, age in years of the first sexual relations and the number of births. A data file was created in Excel where the necessary calculations were made. Absolute numbers and percentages were used to summarize the qualitative and average variables, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values for the quantitative variables. Results: an incidence of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance of 0.37 % was obtained, it predominated in women older than 40 and younger than 50 years old and most of them started their sexual relations before the age of 20 and had 2 children. Conclusion: the report incidence of atypical squamous cells during the studied period of time was low; it predominated in middle-aged women, in those who had an early sexual relation and in multiparous women.
