title: Cavernous hemangioma of the cervix with intractable bleeding. A case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Cavernous hemangioma of the cervix is rare and may cause serious bleeding.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 33-year-old woman developed intractable cervical bleeding following pregnancy termination. Bleeding persisted despite curettage and suturing, and ultimately required hysterectomy. Cavernous hemangioma was confirmed histologically.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This condition is a potential cause of uncontrollable cervical bleeding.
