Florid endocervical glandular hyperplasia with pyloric gland metaplasia: a radiologic pitfall.
A case of florid endocervical glandular hyperplasia with pyloric gland metaplasia is described. MR images showed multiple and conjugated cysts in the uterine cervix, which suggested adenoma malignum. A postoperative examination revealed florid but definitely benign endocervical glandular hyperplasia. Hitherto described radiologic features considered suggestive of adenoma malignum are not necessarily specific and can be a diagnostic pitfall.
