    Author: Umezaki I, Takagi K, Aiba M, Ohta H.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 2004 May; 103(5 Pt 2):1130-3. PubMed ID: 15121634.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Uterine diverticulum is a very rare anomaly. Most previously reported cases were called "pregnancy-associated sacculations," and only 2 cases were considered true uterine diverticula. CASE: A 41-year-old woman presented with fever and lower abdominal pain. An extrauterine mass was detected, and a hysterectomy was performed. Pathological examination revealed a cystic uterine diverticulum lined with cervical glands and myometrium arising from the cervix. The final diagnosis was an infected uterine cervical diverticulum. CONCLUSION: Cervical diverticulum is a rare lesion that should be added to the differential diagnosis of a woman presenting with a pelvic mass.
