(Q51.6) Embryonic cyst of cervix

Embryonic cyst of cervix is a rare congenital anomaly that occurs when the embryonic tissue remains in the cervix after the embryo has been expelled. it is believed to be caused by an abnormality in the development of the müllerian ducts, which are responsible for forming the uterus and cervix.

Embryonic cyst of the cervix is a rare congenital abnormality caused by the failure of the embryonic fusion of the paramesonephric ducts. this results in a cystic structure that is lined with stratified squamous epithelium and filled with mucus. it can be caused by a variety of genetic and environmental factors, such as hormonal imbalances, infections, and trauma. if left untreated, the cyst can become infected, leading to inflammation, pain, and potential for malignancy.

• Hysterectomy to remove the uterus and the cyst
• Antibiotics to prevent infection
