BACKGROUND:Cervical cancer remains one of the most common causes of death for women globally and ranks 4th ofall cancers.Currently,every 2 minutes a life is lost to this disease.Endocervical adenocarcinomas are a heterogeneousgroup of neoplasms. Screening strategies designed for and effective in detecting squamous cell carcinoma precursorsare less effective in detecting endocervical glandular precursor lesions.Because of this and possible other reasons,thereal and relative incidence of endocervical adenocarcinoma has increased in recent years from 5% to up to 20-25%,particularly in patients 30yr of age or older.MATERIAL AND METHOD: It was a retrospective record based study,performed in the Department of pathology, RIMS Ranchi. Study population included all cases who were clinicallysuspected of any cervical pathology, with common clinical presentation of abnormal vaginal bleeding, intermenstrualheavy bleeding,postmenopausal bleeding,postcoital bleeding,whitish discharge per vagina,pain in lower abdomen,from January 2020- july 2021.RESULT:In our study incidence of SCC of cervix is 91.97% and second most common typeis adenocarcinoma of cervix with incidence of 8.02%.Striking feature of adenocarcinoma of cervix is its preponderancein younger female as compared to SCC
