Popis: | Background: The presence of cutaneous appendage is an uncommon finding in the cervical uterus and less than ten cases have been reported. Case Report: We present a 48-year-old postmenopausal female with cervical squamous cell carcinoma and an incidental finding of cutaneous appendages and melanin pigments in the cervix uteri. Conclusions: There is no known association between epithelial adnexal structures in the cervix and cervical cancer, but this case raises the possibility of such an association.
