Endometriosis of the Cervix: A Rare Clinical Case with the Possibility of Comparing the Eutopic and Ectopic Endometrium at the Cellular Level

Abstract: Endometriosis of the cervix is a rare form of genital endometriosis, which is characterized by the appearance of tissue on the vaginal part of the cervix, similar to the tissue of the mucous membrane of the uterine cavity. We describe a clinical case in which we compared the content of cytoskeletal proteins, H3 histone modifications and DNA methylation (total and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine content) in the eutopic endometrium and in tissue from endometriosis foci on the cervix. The patient had elevated levels of e… Show more

“…The chronic nature of endometriosis, the length of time between development of symptoms and diagnosis, expensive medical and surgical therapies, and indirect expenses related to diminished capacity to work are the causes of this burden. The morbidity, healthcare costs [44], and lost productivity related to endometriosis can be significantly decreased by raising awareness of the condition, speeding up diagnosis, and offering centralized, evidence-based specialized care [45].…”
