Objective: To demonstrate the relationship between the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the recurrence of anal lesions caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Method: A retrospective study was conducted with 60 patients who underwent resection of anal lesions caused by HPV. The NLR was recorded prior to surgery and the cut-off point for patients who presented recurrence of the lesions was determined using a ROC curve. Results: Lower values were found in those who presented recurrence of the disease. It was shown that an NLR less than 1.84 is associated with a higher risk of recurrence, of 3.800 with a 95% CI (1.632-8.848). Conclusions: The NLR is a useful and easily reproducible tool for the follow-up of patients who underwent resection of anal lesions due to HPV; obtaining a low value is related to a higher risk of recurrence.
