Pathol Res Pract. 1992 Aug;188(6):799-801; discussion 802-3. doi: 10.1016/S0344-0338(11)80182-2.

Abstract

Benign mesenchymoma (BM) is an uncommon tumor containing two or more differentiated mesenchymal elements in addition to fibrous tissue. A case of BM of the uterine cervix in a 51-year-old woman is reported. This tumor, which we designated "lipoleiomyoma with metaplastic cartilage" because of its morphological features, apparently represents the first documented example of BM of the cervix.
