Multiple Nabothian Cysts: A Cause of Cervical Obstruction

摘要

Naboth cysts are common and benign cervical lesions in women of reproductive age. They are often due to childbirth or minor trauma and are rarely symptomatic. We report the case of multiple Nabothian cysts obstructing the cervical canal in a patient with 7 years primary infertility. The diagnosis was made by MRI. Naboth cysts can mimic some benign or malignant pathologies. In case of diagnostic doubt, the biopsy is recommended to eliminate adenocarcinoma. Treatment is based on simple drainage or excision whenever cyst is symptomatic. Through this work, we will discuss some diagnostic pitfalls and the probable implication of this pathology into infertility.
