ABSTRACT
Cervical endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma at the cervix. This is rare and sometimes asymptomatic. Most of these are diagnosed by incidental findings within histopathology. As the presence of cytological features do not guarantee the presence of cervical endometriosis, it is difficult to diagnose this disorder prior to surgery. We recently encountered a case of cervical endometriosis in a post-menopausal woman who was not receiving hormone therapy. As a reminder to clinicians about this neglected issue, we report a case of cervical endometriosis with a literature review.
