OBJECTIVE. The objective of this article is to describe the broad spectrum and imaging features of multilocular cystic lesions in the uterine cervix from benign lesions, such as uterine cervicitis, endocervical hyperplasia, nabothian cyst, and tunnel cluster, to malignant lesions including adenocarcinoma and adenoma malignum. CONCLUSION. Familiarity with the clinical setting and imaging features of multilocular cystic lesions in the uterine cervix can help prevent unnecessary radical surgery before histopathologic proof of malignancy and can facilitate prompt and accurate diagnosis and treatment.
