This paper reports a single case describing ectopic cervical deciduosis presenting as severe, life-threatening antepartum hemorrhage in the second trimester. It explains that decidual change is required for uterine implantation and that deciduosis refers to decidual tissue located outside the uterine cavity, with variable clinical presentations ranging from asymptomatic to major emergencies. The major limitation is that the evidence is restricted to a case report, without broader data or comparative analysis. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Decidual change is a key process required by the uterus to make itself ready for implantation. Presence of ectopic decidual tissue outside the uterine cavity is known as deciduosis.The clinical presentation can vary from being totally asymptomatic and subtle to presenting in the form of life-threatening emergencies like hemoperitoneum, recurrent pneumothorax, or even bowel perforation. Here, we present a case of ectopic deciduosis of cervix presenting in the form of severe life-threatening antepartum hemorrhage in second trimester of pregnancy.
