Sažetak
Cervical endometriosis has been reported rarely. A 28-year-old nulliparous woman was referred for surgical management due to persistent dyspareunia. Initial cytological, clinical and laparoscopic finding were unremarkable. Both vaginal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated the cystic lesion suggestive of cervical endometriosis. Led by these findings repeated laparoscopy was preformed, left pelvic sidewall opened and endometriotic nodule 3 cm in diameter was found and extirpated just under the left sacrouterine ligament. Histopathological report confirmed the diagnosis of cervical endometriosis. The patient was symptom free at the 6-month follow up. We suggest that cervical endometriosis should be considered in women complaining on persistent dyspareunia while other causes are excluded.
