Uterine cervical mucosa is devoid of melanocytes, even if melanocitic lesions have been reported in this site on literature. In the present article, we report a case of endocervical blue nevus in a postmenopausal woman with vaginal bleeding. Histological diagnosis has been made on a curettage material obtained from the gynaecological service of our hospital.
