The topic Cervical Lobular Endocervical Glandular Hyperplasia you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Lobular Endocervical Glandular Hyperplasia of Uterine Cervix.

Quick Summary:

  • Lobular Endocervical Glandular Hyperplasia (LEGH) of Uterine Cervix is a benign condition that is characterized by an abnormal increase of glands within the cervix (endocervical glands). This type of glandular hyperplasia is diagnosed based upon the pattern observed under a microscope
  • Lobular Endocervical Glandular Hyperplasia of Cervix presents the same morphological features of gastric pyloric glands on examination by a pathologist
  • The condition is observed in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women. But, because LEGH of Cervix is associated with cancers, such as adenocarcinoma in situ, adenoma malignum of the uterine cervix, and some forms of cervical cancer, some researchers believe that it may be a premalignant condition
  • There are no clearly established risk factors for Lobular Endocervical Glandular Hyperplasia of Cervix. However, some cases are seen in the backdrop of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, which is a genetic disorder
  • Cervical Lobular Endocervical Glandular Hyperplasia is an incidental finding in some cases. No significant signs and symptoms or complications are generally noted; however, some women may present with abnormal vaginal discharge
  • The treatment course includes surgical management, since a few cases have been associated with adenocarcinomas. In general, the prognosis of Lobular Endocervical Glandular Hyperplasia of Uterine Cervix is excellent with adequate treatment
