Abstract

Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate the etiology of bleeding from the portio vaginalis of the cervix in two patients with history of severe pelvic endometriosis that required supracervical hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. These patients were on estrogen treatment postoperatively. Methods: The portiovaginalis of the cervix was excised vaginally. The specimen was submitted for histopathologic studies. Results: Histopathologic studies revealed cervical endometriosis. Conclusion: Cervical endometriosis may present as cervical bleeding with estrogen replacement therapy in patients post supracervical hysterectomy.
