- Abstract
- Blue nevus of the endocervix is an uncommon lesion. Blue nevus commonly occurs on the skin of hands and feet, occasionally it has been observed in the mucosa of the oral cavity, and rarely observed in the uterine cervix, vagina, prostate, lymph nodes, and even breast. Most of them have been discovered incidentally. Our two cases (in 41 years and 45 years) were also incidentally found in the endocervix of the uterus, which were obtained by total abdominal hysterectomy under the diagnosis of leiomyoma. The expressions of S-100 protein in the blue nevus were noted. We report them with review of literatures.
