Abstract
Background:
Cavernous hemangioma of the cervix is rare and may cause serious bleeding.
Case:
A 33-year-old woman developed intractable cervical bleeding following pregnancy termination. Bleeding persisted despite curettage and suturing, and ultimately required hysterectomy. Cavernous hemangioma was confirmed histologically.
Conclusion:
This condition is a potential cause of uncontrollable cervical bleeding.
