We report herein a 53-year-old Japanese female case of polypoid adenomyoma of endocervical type. A sessile 16 mm sized cervical polyp, hard in consistency, was surgically removed. Histologically, the polypoid lesion was composed of smooth muscle bundles and scattered benign-looking endocervical glands. The mucin was diffusely alcianophilic. Immunohistochemically, some mucous glands were positiv...

CONTEXT AND PURPOSE Uterine cervical ectopy (cervical erosion) is today considered to be a physiological condition, but there still seems to be a strong tendency towards treating it. The purpose of this study was to review the medical literature for evidence regarding benefits from treating cervical ectopy. METHODS The following databases were reviewed: Medical Literature Analysis and Retriev...

Innervation of the molar gland and blood vessels in the lower lip, gingiva and cheek mucous membrane was investigated in the cat with the aid of whole mount acetylthiocholinesterase (WATChE) histochemistry and retrograde neuronal tracing methods with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and HRP-conjugated wheat germ agglutinin (WGA-HRP). The molar gland was found to be supplied from the buccal nerve an...

Pathologies developing on the floor of mouth create difficulty for patient and pose a challenge to oral physicians both clinically surgically as this area manifests numerous vital structures. While diagnosing, an accurate differential diagnosis should be established rule out other lesions that usually occur such ranula, lipoma, salivary gland tumours, dermoid cyst, vascular lesions.

Significant vaginal bleeding in the second half of pregnancy is uncommon and complicates fewer than 5% of pregnancies. Small amounts of bleeding or spotting, especially if admixed with cervical mucous, may represent “bloody show” and may herald the onset of labor, either term or preterm. Vaginal spotting from a friable cervix may reflect recent intercourse or digital examination. In very unusua...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the defense cells changes of cervical mucous during follicular and luteal phases of estrus cycle in river buffalo. Reproductive organs of the adult and apparently healthy female buffaloes were collected from the slaughterhouse. By visual investigation of both the ovaries for presence of corpus luteum and growing follicles, the luteal and follicular phase of...

A plunging ranula is a mucous extravasation cyst appearing as a swelling in the submental and submandibular regions. We describe a rare case of massive deep diving cervical ranula involving multiple tissue spaces and extending to the upper mediastinum. The unusual course of events following surgical excision of the submandibular gland is presented. A Computerized Tomography (CT) scan revealed t...
