Incidentally Detected Blue Nevus of Endocervix: a Case Report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Blue nevi are uncommon, asymptomatic lesions of the uterine cervix. These lesions are not often detected clinically or on colposcopy.Careful histopathological examination is required. The nevus cells are said to originate from the immature melanoblasts of the neural crest. These lesions need to be differentiated from malignant melanoma and melanosis of the cervix. We present here a case report of incidentally detected cervical blue nevus in a 52 year old lady.

متن کاملBlue Nevus Of Cervix – A Case Report
Pigmented lesions of the cervix are a rarity. Blue nevus occurs as an incidental finding in cervix in hysterectomy specimens from middle aged women. This condition is more appropriately called ‘Focal Stromal Melanocytosis” as the findings are more analogous to dermal melanocytosis rather than to cutaneous blue nevi. There are only a couple of reports of cervical blue nevi in the Indian literatu...
