Abstract

This chapter covers the many benign endocervical glandular lesions, some of which may mimic premalignant and malignant endocervical glandular lesions. Benign endocervical glandular lesions can be broadly divided into four groups, metaplasias and ectopias of endocervical glands, endocervical glandular “hyperplasias”, reactive and inflammatory lesions and benign glandular neoplasms. The differential diagnosis with premalignant and malignant endocervical glandular lesions and the value of immunohistochemistry is discussed where appropriate.
