This case report describes a rare instance of cervical adenomyoma, a benign tumor-forming variant of focal adenomyosis that typically occurs in the uterine corpus rather than the cervix. The authors highlight the diagnostic challenges posed by distinct radiological features in women of reproductive age and emphasize the critical role of imaging in accurately identifying this condition for proper clinical management. By presenting specific clues to facilitate radiological diagnosis, the paper aims to improve recognition of this uncommon pathology which has been reported in only thirty-two cases since its first description in 1996. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis — specifically the rare cervical variant known as adenomyoma.

Abstract

Focal adenomyosis may present as a tumor-forming variant containing smooth-muscle cells, known as adenomyoma, which usually occurs in the uterine corpus. Cervical adenomyoma is a rare benign tumor, described for the first time in 1996, with 32 cases being reported since. Typically affecting women of reproductive age, particularly between 21 and 56 years old, cervical adenomyomas present a diagnostic challenge due to distinct radiological features compared to the adenomyomas of the uterine corpus. This report presents a case of cervical adenomyoma, emphasizing the role of radiological imaging in the diagnosis and clinical management.
