Se realizó un estudio descriptivo en pacientes adolescentes que acudieron a la consulta de patología de cuello del Hospital “Ramón González Coro” en el período comprendido de enero de 2003 a mayo de 2005. El número de pacientes atendidas ascendió a 144 y de ellas 32 presentaron neoplasia intraepitelial cervical. El grupo de edades más frecuente resultó el comprendido entre 17 y 18 años, con una frecuencia referida entre 2 y 3 parejas sexuales. La infección de transmisión sexual más común fue el HPV. El resultado de las pruebas citológicas de más predominio fue el NIC I y el NIC II, correspondiendo a un mayor número de casos de colposcopia positiva, en las biopsias por ponche el NIC II es el más frecuente. La mayoría de casos con lesiones de alto grado el tratamiento fue cono por asa diatérmica. Teniendo en cuenta los hallazgos del estudio, sin modificar las normas del Programa Nacional de Detección Precoz del Cáncer Cervicouterino es importante realizar estudios citológicos y colposcópicos a pacientes menores de 25 años siempre que existan factores de riesgo.A descriptive study was conducted in adolescent patients that received attention at the cervical pathology consultation of “Ramón Gonzalez Coro” Hospital from January 2003 to May 2005. The number of patients ascended to 144 and of them 32 presented neoplasias. The age group 17-18 was the most common with a frequency referred bewteen 2 and 3 sexual partners.
