Asymptomatic and perimenopausal women with cervical endometriosis can expect treatment; Patients with milder symptoms are usually managed conservatively with medications, and those with large lesions or significant clinical symptoms require surgery, which is curative in the vast majority of cases postoperatively. Cervical endometriosis is associated with HPV infection and cervical lesions, but further research is still needed to determine their relationship and mechanism.

“…Superficial cervical endometriosis may be an incidentally detected histologic finding in asymptomatic women (84,86), but cervical endometriosis also may manifest as a cervical mass, with symptoms of pelvic pain or abnormal vaginal bleeding (87). A variety of mani- festations of cervical endometriosis have been reported at US, ranging from a complex cystic mass to a solid-appearing lesion with extension into the paracervical tissues, potentially producing a US appearance that is similar to that of other entities, including leiomyomas, polyps, and carcinoma (84,87,88). Clinical history and speculum examination may allow establishment of the correct diagnosis; however, sometimes cervical endometriosis is recognized only at histopathologic examination.…”

The adult uterine cervix may exhibit a wide variety of pathologic conditions that include benign entities (eg, cervicitis, hyperplasia, nabothian cysts, cervical polyps, leiomyomas, endometriosis, and congenital abnormalities) as well as malignant lesions, particularly cervical carcinoma. In addition, lesions that arise in the uterine body may secondarily involve the cervix, such as endometrial carcinoma and prolapsed intracavitary masses. Many of these conditions can be identified and characterized at ultrasonography (US), which is considered the first-line imaging examination for the female pelvis. However, examination of the cervix is often cursory during pelvic US, such that cervical disease may be overlooked or misdiagnosed. Transabdominal US of the cervix may not afford sufficient spatial resolution to depict cervical disease in many patients; therefore, endovaginal US is considered the optimal technique. Use of supplemental imaging techniques, particularly the application of transducer pressure on the cervix, may be helpful. This review describes the normal appearance of the cervix at US, the appearance of cervical lesions and conditions that mimic abnormalities at US, and optimal US techniques for evaluation of the cervix. This information will help radiologists detect and diagnose cervical abnormalities more confidently at pelvic US. Online supplemental material is available for this article.
