Background: Lack of cervical screening programs makes cervical cancer a major health issue in underdeveloped countries. Early clinical symptoms beyond the disease's histological profile are crucial for preventing fatal consequences and providing appropriate treatment. Methodology: This study is a retrospective descriptive analysis of cervical cancer cases recorded in El-Obeid, North Kordofan, spanning from January 2019 to April 2024. Results: We reviewed 190 cervical cancer reports. Patients suffered 72% vaginal bleeding, 26% discharge, and a few urinary symptoms. The mass's gross morphology showed 54% exophytic growth and 32% infiltrative growth. In the cervical cancer study, 74% were SCC and 26% were adenocarcinoma. Big cell non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) made up 58% of them and were moderately differentiated (grade II). Additionally, 25% were grade I keratinizing SCC. FIGO staging placed 90% of patients at stage 1. Conclusion: among Sudan, uterine cervix cancer is still common among patients seeking medical attention for various complaints. Moderately differentiated SCC was most prevalent. Since cervical cancer is generally preventable in its premalignant state, early diagnosis and screening policies should be implemented.
