Ichthyosis uterus is an uncommon condition in which the entire surface of the endometrium is replaced by stratified squamous epithelium. This condition most commonly develops secondary to longstanding cervical obstruction or chronic inflammation. It is considered a benign lesion, but its association with endometrial malignancy has been reported in the literature. We are reporting a case of ichthyosis uteri with dysplasia associated with cervical intraepithelial neoplasm (CIN III). The case is reported for its rarity and to aware about neoplastic potential of ichthyosis uteri.
