Abstract :
Cervical adenomyomas of endocervical type (endocervical
adenomyomas) are very rare benign lesions. Here we report the
case of a 33-year-old woman who referred to the Perinatology
Clinic of Ommolbanin Hospital (Mashhad, Iran) in September
2017. The patient was 8 weeks pregnant and complained of spotting
and feeling a mass protruding from her vagina for 2 months.
Physical examination revealed the presence of three masses of
approximately 10 cm in the vagina, which were treated surgically.
Histopathological examination of the excised specimen showed
the presence of glands lined by a single layer of endocervicaltype
mucinous epithelium with smooth muscle fibers. Clinicians
should be aware of such lesions in order to differentiate them from
other malignancies and to individualize treatment.
