Özet

Literature review revealed descriptions of three cellular blue nevus (CBN) in the gynecologic tract. Two of them were myometrial CBN and incidental findings in hysterectomies performed in women aged 37 and 48 years. The single ectocervical CBN involving the hymenal ring and vagina was reported in a 19-year-old woman. The other reported cases of cervical blue nevi were common type and have been localized to endocervix. Vulvar CBN in left labia majora mimicking Bartholin's gland abscess in a 15-year-old white virgin girl and also the youngest case has not been reported previously. CBN should be considered in the differential diagnosis of vulvar masses in adolescent period.
