Case report. MR appearance of cervical donovanosis mimicking carcinoma of the cervix

Br J Radiol. 2008 Jun;81(966):e170-2. doi: 10.1259/bjr/35722488.

Abstract

Donovanosis is an acquired sexually transmitted disease predominantly affecting the external genitalia. The cervix is an uncommon site of involvement, and can clinically mimic carcinoma of the cervix. The imaging (MR) appearance of donovanosis has not been described previously in the literature. We report a case wherein the MR appearance of cervical donovanosis is indistinguishable from carcinoma of the cervix.
