Natural history of a cervical cavernous hemangioma through two pregnancies.
Hemangiomas of the uterine cervix are extremely rare. The tumor can have a variety of appearance. When a cervical hemangioma is diagnosed in an asymptomatic nulliparous woman or during pregnancy, expectant management is warranted. Surgical intervention, laser, ablation, or Cesarean section is reserved for hemangiomas that present major problems. The natural history of cervical hemangioma is regression and involution.
