Abstract. Microglandular hyperplasia is a lesion of the uterine endocervical mucosa, often associated with a story of contraceptive drugs or pregnancy. It was frequently confused with adenocarcinoma or premalignant glandular changes until its benign nature was recognized.

Microglandular hyperplasia is a benign condition without preneoplastic potential. It requires no therapy. However, this case fits the profile of uterine cancers misinterpreted as microglandular hyperplasias that was described by Young and Scully [1].

The mucous lining of the canal of the cervix uteri. It is composed of epithelium, basement membrane, lamina propria mucosae, and lamina muscularis… Expand.

Microglandular hyperplasia
Microglandular hyperplasia (MGH) is a localized nonneoplastic proliferation of endocervical glands in women of reproductive age. It is associated with oral contraceptive use, pregnancy, and progestins (Fig. 1).

Cervicitis is very common. It has been projected that more than half of all adult women will have cervicitis at some point. Women who engage in high-risk sexual behaviors and have multiple partners are at a higher risk for cervicitis.

Microglandular adenosis (MGA) is an uncommon proliferative lesion that mimics carcinoma clinically and morphologically. It is composed of small uniform glands irregularly distributed in fibrofatty stroma.

Myoinvasive patterns present in endometrioid endometrial carcinomas. (A) Non infiltrative, tumour is confined to the endometrium and does not invade the myometrium. (B) Infiltrative glands, composed of single or small groups of glands with irregular contours scattered in the myometrium.

BENIGN TUMORS Endocervical polyps. Endocervical polyps are the most common benign neoplasms of the cervix. They are focal hyperplastic protrusions of the endocervical folds, including the epithelium and substantia propria.
