The cytology and the colposcopy have been used over years looking for premalignant and malignant affections of the cervix uteri only confirmed by histology. OBJECTIVE: to assess the colpohistologic correlation in patients presenting with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) diagnosed and treated with radiosurgery. METHODS: A retrospective, longitudinal and descriptive research was made in 2 657 patients underwent cervical conization in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Teaching Hospital of Guanabacoa municipality between January, 1998 and December, 2008. The following variables were assessed: prior colposcopy examinations and histological result of cervix uteri tissue obtained by conization with diathermic loop. For statistic analysis the descriptive abstract measures were used: the percentage frequency, the standard deviation mean and the Chi² test with a significance level of p £ 0,05, as significant, p £ 0,01 as very significant and p £ 0,001 highly significant, allowing assessment of the reliability and significance of variable to be studied. RESULTS: The colposcopy and histology relation was very significant in study patients. CONCLUSION: There was verified a good correlation between colposcopy and histology in patients diagnosed with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

Keywords : Correlation; colposcopy; histology; cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).
