Background: At the present time cervix uteri cancer is the second cause of worldwide gynaecological cancer after the mamma´s. Objective: To describe the cytohistologic relation in women with diagnosis of human papilloma virus (HPV) by biopsy in Camagüey municipality. Method: A descriptive study at "Ana Betancourt de Mora" Gyneco-Obstetric Teaching Hospital in 2005-2006 years. The sample was constituted by 159 women with diagnosis of HPV in which age, cytologic and histological results were studied. Results in absolute and relative numbers were expressed and exposed in tables, charts and text. Results: The 42.7% of the patients had ages between 30 and 39 years and the 24.5% were between 20 and 29 years. Diagnostic coincidence in 84 (52.8%) women was observed, mainly among who presented HPV associated to NIC I and NIC II. In 25 (15.7%) false negative results were found in the cytology. Conclusions: The infection by HPV predominated in women with ages between 30 and 39 years. Cytologic and histological results coincided in over the half of sick persons with diagnosis of HPV associated to NIC I and NIC II, no like this in the remaining.
