Abstract
Background Cancer of the cervix is a common cause of malignancy. Its association with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is debatable. Objective Early detection of cervical pre-neoplastic lesion in SLE patients. Method A case control study was performed on 64 SLE group and 64 control group using a colposcopy, pap smear and histopathological examination. Conclusion This study revealed that preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions of the cervix were higher in the SLE group.
