A descriptive and retrospective study of 738 patients with premalignant and malignant lesions of cervix, diagnosed by means of biopsies and cytological studies preserved from records in the Pathology Department of "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out during the biennium 2011-2012, with the aim of determining some characteristics of these neoplastic disorders. In the series it was obtained that more than half of the tissue cervical samples showed some premalignant and malignant lesion, predominantly in patients with ages from 25 to 54 years, and the most frequent diagnosis was moderate dysplasia; likely, the human papillomavirus was present in 64.8% of the cytological studies and in 75.3% of the biopsies, and the effectiveness of the cytological study in the laboratory was 92.0%
