Abstract:

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.   How to cite this article: Talengala Bhat S, Shivamurthy A, Calicut Kini Rao A. Incidentally Detected Blue Nevus of Endocervix: a Case Report. Iran J Pathol. 2015;10(3):248-52.

[Blue nevus of the endocervix].

We report a case of blue nevus of the uterine cervix discovered in a cone removed for other reasons. The lesion can be interpreted as a visceral analogue of the cutaneous blue nevus. Histological and Immunohistological studies suggest the melanocytic nature of the lesion.

Blue nevus of the endocervix

The mucosa of the uterine cervix is normally devoid of melanocytes; therefore, melanin-containing lesions are very rare in this site. A new case of a common blue nevus in the cervix of a 57-year-old woman is reported. The lesion was an incidental finding in a total hysterectomy specimen performed for atypical endometrial hyperplasia. Gross and histological examination revealed minute dark macul...

Blue 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...

Agminated blue nevus - Case report*

Blue nevi are benign melanocytic lesions located in the deeper reticular dermis, consequence of failure of melanocytic migration into the dermal-epidermal junction from the neural crest. Lesions are usually asymptomatic and solitary, but may present in a multiple or agminated (grouped) pattern. The agminated subtype is formed when bluish-pigmented lesions cluster together in a well-defined area...
