title: Cervical endometriosis, a case presenting with intractable spotting.
abstract: Cervix uteri is regarded as an infrequent localization for endometriosis. With widespread use of invasive cervical procedures, however, an increased incidence can be expected. Limited awareness of the clinical appearance of the disease may account for its apparent rarity. This presentation aims to refocus attention to the disease by reviewing the case of a woman who presented to us with minimal metrorrhagia, which is a rare symptom of cervical endometriosis.
