ABSTRACT
Osseous metaplasia (OM) of the cervix without involvement of the uterus is an extremely rare entity. Only few cases had been reported in the literature. We reported a rare case of OM of the cervix clinically mimicking cervical cancer. A 52-year-old female presented with chief complaints of leukorrhea and an unusual sensation of mass in the vagina. On clinical examination, the uterus, adnexa, pouch of Douglas, vulva, and perineum-all were normal except the cervix which was hypertrophied with surface irregularities. Histopathological examination of the cervix showed OM of the cervix. Since this is a benign entity, proper diagnosis is essential to avoid misdiagnosis of malignant tumors, especially malignant mesenchymal tumors.
