“…The obstetrical complications are the premature rupture of membranes, the fetal death in the uterus, the postpartum haemorrhage and disseminated intravascular coagulation [3][4][5][11][12][13].

Purpose: Cavernous haemangiomas of the uterine cervix are very rare and usually harmless. It is a benign tumor that may cause gynecological obstetrical complications. Although it is a benign condition but it can have serious consequences for the mother as well as for the baby. The treatment is often surgical and diagnosis is histological. Methods and Result: we reported a case of cavernous haemangioma of the cervix in a 25-year old multiparous patient, referred to our Centre in the 33 -34 gestational weeks for premature labor with membranes rupture. A 3 cm × 6 cm soft regular purplish red mass is found in the uterine cervix. Tocolosys, prophylactic antibiotic therapy and corticotherapy for fetus pulmonary maturation were then decided after elimination of chorioamniotite signs. Caesarean has been made during labor, a week later, for tumor previa. The tumor excision has been made through the vagina after fetus extraction. The histological examination confirmed diagnosis of the cavernous haemangioma. Discussion: Further to this observation, the clinical, histological and therapeutic characteristics of the cavernous haemangioma unusual presentation were drawn up and literature enriched since this pathology is rare. Most previous reports in the literature consist of single-case histories, and the experience of individual institutions is limited. The patients dramatically present dilemmas in the disease management. This can result in uncontrolled bleeding especially during operative delivery and may require hysterectomy. To avoid unexpected bleeding from haemangioma, patients should be repeatedly examined for haemangioma of the birth canal, and special care should be taken in choosing the delivery mode.

The cervix of the uterus is a rare site for cavernous hemangiomas. Cervical hemangiomas are slow‐growing tumors with characteristic histological findings, including dilated vessels with increased endothelial cells. Although their pathophysiology remains unclear, hormones are believed to play an important role in the development of these vascular tumors. They may be asymptomatic due to their small size, but they can cause gynecological and obstetrical complications, including abnormal uterine bleeding and impaired fertility. Due to their small size, conservative treatment is the first line of management. Hysterectomy is considered for refractory cases or for patients who are not of childbearing age. In this study, firstly, we presented a case of a 60‐year‐old postmenopausal female without any gynecological‐related signs or symptoms with a polypoid nodule hanging over the anterior cervical wall through its stalk. The surgical biopsy revealed no signs of neoplastic changes, with the only notable finding being a benign vascular lesion representing a cavernous hemangiomatous cervical polyp. The patient underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo‐oophorectomy and she is currently healthy without any further abnormal findings. Additionally, we provided a comprehensive review of 137 cases in the literature since 1883, detailing their characteristics, signs and symptoms, and pathology.
