Overview

Cervical cancer must be differentiated from other diseases that cause abnormal vaginal bleeding, such as cervical polyp, cervical leiomyoma, invasion of the cervix from primary uterine malignancy, vaginal cancer, cervical lymphoma, metastases to cervix, and cervical ectopic pregnancy.

Cervical cancer differential diagnosis

  • Cervical cancer must be differentiated from a mass involving the cervix, and causing abnormal vaginal bleeding:
  • Cervical polyp
  • Cervical leiomyoma
  • Cervical lymphoma
  • Cervical sarcoma
  • Metastases to the cervix
  • Cervical ectopic pregnancy
  • Cervicitis
  • Cervical erosion ( Ectropion )
  • IUD use
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease
  • Endometriosis
  • Adenomyosis
  • Postcoital bleeding
  • Clear cell adenocarcinoma
Diseases Clinical manifestations Para-clinical findings Gold standard
