Superficial myofibroblastoma of the lower female genital tract is a rare benign, recently recognized neoplasm that mostly affects the vulvovaginal area. Our report discusses a case of cervical superficial myofibroblastoma of the lower female genital tract in a 45-year-old patient who is presented with menometrorrhagia. On examination, she had multiple uterine fibroids and a circumscribed submucosal mass lesion involving the anterior lip of cervix. At hysterectomy, histopathological examination of the cervical mass revealed a relatively hypocellular tumor consisted of bland spindled and stellate cells. An immunohistochemistry evaluation revealed reactivity for CD34, desmin, and smooth muscle actin. This neoplasm should be included in the differential diagnosis of cervical mass lesions. This tumor also needs to be differentiated from other mesenchymal lesions of lower female genital tract.

Spinal dysraphism and teratomas are well-recognized spinal cord lesions, but both entities are rare in the cervical spinal cord. Rarely, teratomas have been described within dysraphic lesions in the thoracic and lumbosacral regions. To date, teratomas contained within cervical spine dysraphic lesions have not been described. Although mature cystic teratomas are renowned for the array of organoid tissue differentiation they display, mature lung differentiation is a rarity. While pulmonary differentiation has been described in six female genital tract teratomas, it has not been reported in spinal teratomas. The clinicopathologic features of a complex cervical lesion, comprising a combination of cervical spine dysraphism with a mature cystic teratoma that exhibited pulmonary differentiation, is presented, and the literature on teratomas exhibiting pulmonary differentiation is reviewed.
