Cervical cancer mimicking cervical myoma a rare clinical situation

Abstract

This article discusses the rare clinical situation where cervical cancer mimics the symptoms of a cervical myoma. Cervical cancer is a prevalent cancer in women, often caused by HPV infection, and can cause symptoms such as abnormal vaginal bleeding and pain during sexual intercourse. However, cervical myoma can also cause similar symptoms, making it difficult to differentiate between the two conditions. Delayed diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer can lead to a poorer outcome for patients, highlighting the importance of accurately identifying the disease. Healthcare professionals should be aware of this rare clinical situation and conduct thorough examinations to differentiate between cervical cancer and cervical myoma. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can improve the prognosis for patients with this disease. Women should also be aware of the potential symptoms of cervical cancer and consult a healthcare professional if they experience abnormal vaginal bleeding or pain during sexual intercourse. Vaccination against HPV can help prevent cervical cancer, making it important for women to discuss this option with their healthcare provider. This article reports a case of cervical cancer mimicking a cervical myoma, highlighting the importance of considering this rare clinical situation in differential diagnoses.
