| Summary: | Introduction. Benign, especially polypoid, lesions of the cervix are common
in everyday work. Rare tumors of this region are vascular ones, particularly
capillary and/or cavernous hemangiomas. Cervical hemangiomas are especially
rare, usually asymptomatic and only one third of the cases is clinically
manifested as vaginal bleeding, polyps, etc. Case report. We reported a
54-year-old postmenopausal female patient who had undergone conization due to
high-grade squamous intra-epithelial lesion (H-SIL). Microscopic analysis of
slices confirmed the existence of dysplastic changes in the endocervical
epithelium and in small part in the epithelium of the gland of H-SIL type. In
2 of 15 slices, within the walls of the cervix, dilated, amplified and
abnormal blood vessels lined with endothelium were observed, vaguely limited
by the surrounding connective tissue of lamina propria and smooth muscle wall
of the cervix. According to the pathological characteristics, the change
corresponded to the hemangioma. Both changes were completely removed.
Conclusion. In comparison with the available literature data, the presented
case is the first to describe the association of hemangioma and dysplastic
changes in the endocervical epithelium. Hemangioma was incidentally
discovered in the histological sections of the material after the conization
in a postmenopausal women. |
