Cystic Lesions of the Uterus

Introduction

Nabothian Cysts

Sagittal View of the Cervix

The ultrasound is from a 40 year old patient who presents with pelvic discomfort . Nabothian cysts in the cervix are of incidental note. They are cystic in nature demonstaring anechogenicity, through transmission, and backwall enhancement. The examination was otherwise normal.

Mucocele of the Cervix

The CTscan is from a 64 year old female who had a cervical mass by clinical examination. The study shows a large cystic mass in the expected location of the cervix. Within the mass there are soft tissue elements attached to the roof of the mass as well as lying dependantly on the floor of the cyst. A diagnosis of mucocele of the cervix was made following surgery.

Cervical Stenosis and Metrorrhagia

The transvaginal ultrasound is from a 50 year old perimenopausal female with metrorhagia. The uterine cavity and cervical cavity are filled with fluid, and soft tissue elements are identified in the expanded cervical canal. The findings are consistent with cervical stenosis, burt the cause of the metrirhagia is not obvious. The stenosis was relieved and follow up ultrasound showed resolution. No cervical mass was identified.
