Abstract
|
|
|
|
Multilocular cystic lesions in the uterine cervix can vary widely from benign to malignant. Pseudoneoplastic glandular lesions are benign lesions that are often histologically and radiographically confused with adenoma malignum, which is a rare variant of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix. The benign lesions include uterine cervicitis, tunnel cluster, deep endocervical glands, deep nabothian cysts, endocervical hyperplasia, infectious and reactive atypias. It is crucial but difficult to differentiate between an adenoma malignum and the benign cystic lesions. We report two cases of large nabothian cysts mimicking adenoma malignum. Radiologic findings, signs, and symptoms of these cases are described.
