RESUMEN

Primary uterine diverticula are a very rare congenital anomaly of the uterus with only 21 reported cases. Even rarer is the occurrence of primary cervical diverticula with only six cases reported so far. This is a unique case of a huge abdominopelvic mass arising from cervical fibroid around an infected cervical diverticulum. A 44 year-old, P4L4 came to the OPD with a eighteen weeks size abdomino-pelvic mass. She had a failed surgery 6 months back, attempted to remove the mass. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cervical diverticulum which possibly had a pus collection. Relaparotomy was done. It revealed a huge cervical fibroid with dense adhesions all around the mass. A pan hysterectomy was done. In the postoperative period, she developed high-grade fever owing to the development of a pelvic collection, which had to be drained by dilating the vault sutures. Histopathology report confirmed a cervical fibroid with an infected diverticulum within. Primary uterine or cervical diverticula are a very rare anamoly which possibly arise because of a weakness in the area where the two mullerian ducts fuse. Women with this rare condition may suffer from infertility, fever and pain abdomen, acute abdomen owing to torsion or hemoperitoneum, pregnancy complications, and menorrhagia. Diverticulectomy and cervical/uterine reconstruction can be done on nulliparous women while hysterectomy can be offered to perimenopausal women. To conclude, unless known by the gynecologists, radiologists, and the pathologists, this diagnosis can be easily missed out, leading to multiple preventable complications.
