Cervical ectopy or ectropion refers to a red area of the vaginal cervix, sharply demarcated from the larger area of pink epithelium. The thin columnar epithelium of the endocervical canal is everted, and the area appears red because of the proximity of the blood vessels to the surface. The thick squamous epithelium of the vaginal cervix, however, largely conceals the vessels and hence it appears pink.
