Abstract
Background: Blue nevi are benign melanocytic proliferations, most often cutaneous but rarely reported in extracutaneous sites. Cervical blue nevus is an uncommon incidental histological finding, with very few cases published.
Case Presentation: We report a 54-year-old multiparous woman with heavy menstrual bleeding who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy. Histopathological examination revealed an incidental blue nevus in the cervix, characterized by scattered brown pigment laden macrophages in stroma of subepithelium.
Conclusion: Cervical blue nevus is rare and benign. Recognition is essential to avoid misdiagnosis as malignant melanoma, thereby preventing overtreatment.
