Abstract


 In India Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women. The AgNOR dots are quite useful in tumour detection. Aim: A comparative study using Papanicolaou and AgNOR stain in cervical smears. Material and Methods :present study  was prospective analytical study,carried out in pathology department in tertiary care hospital.100 patients from Gynaec OPD were selected .Two cervical  smears  were prepared  . One  stain with conventional Papanicolaou stain  and other with  AgNOR stain . Cytopathological findings were compared with  number of  AgNOR dots of corresponding slide. Observations:The AgNOR dots increases (  NILM1.62 , Chronic cervicitis -2.01, LSIL-2.75and HSIL-4.06)severity of lesion increases. Conclusion: AgNOR dots  tend to increase as the   severity of lesion of cervix increase and  also indicates AgNOR counts in cervical dysplasia  has potential diagnostic importance.
