This case report details a rare instance of cervical endometriosis presenting with pelvic pain and menstrual irregularity, alongside endometrioma and adenomyosis, and includes a literature overview to describe the condition's changing clinical landscape.

This paper reports a rare case of cervical endometriosis in a patient presenting with pelvic pain and menstrual irregularity, in which an endometrioma and adenomyosis were identified and confirmed through histopathological evaluation of the specimen. The authors also provide an overview of cervical endometriosis, distinguishing primary disease confined to the cervix from secondary disease extending from pelvic sites, and describing both superficial (often diagnosed via fine-needle aspiration, colposcopy, and cervical biopsy after abnormal cytology) and deep endometriosis presentations. They note that symptoms can range from incidental/asymptomatic findings to severe events such as life-threatening hemorrhage, and they distinguish clinical definitions and diagnostic pitfalls, including potential misclassification on PAP smears. As a case report and literature overview, the main limitation is its inability to establish broader causal or prevalence estimates. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically details a cervical endometriosis case with histologic confirmation of coexisting adenomyosis.
