Polypoid endometriosis is an uncommon variant of
endometriosis which can mimic malignancy due to its
presentation as masses. We present a case of polypoid
endometriosis which simulated cervical malignancy both on
clinical examination and on computed tomography (CT)
scanning and discuss how magnetic resonance (MR)
imaging, in particular Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI), can
help to distinguish this condition from true malignancy and
avoid invasive surgery.
