Postcoital bleeding due to cervical endometriosis

BMJ Case Rep. 2013 Jan 31:2013:bcr2012008209. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2012-008209.

Abstract

Endometriosis of the uterine cervix is a rare lesion that is generally asymptomatic in gynaecological practice. We present a case with postcoital bleeding due to a cervical mass mimicking cervical polyp or fibroma which was histologically proven as cervical endometriosis later. Cervical endometriosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cervical masses with postcoital bleeding.
