title: [Cervical endometriosis: usefulness of colposcopic examination in the diagnosis].
abstract: Six cases of cervical endometriosis out of 420 colposcopies (1.42%) are described. The data suggest a correlation between electrocautery or other cervical trauma and cervical endometriosis. This study confirms that colposcopic examination is indispensable for a correct diagnosis of cervical endometriosis.
