| Multiple Nabothian Cysts |
A Nabothian cyst ( also called Nabothian Follicle, cervical cyst, nabothian follicles, epithelial inclusion cysts, mucinous retention cysts. ) is a mucus-filled lump on the surface of the cervix. They are usually caused when the stratified squamous epithelium of vagina grows towards the simple columnar epithelium of uterus. So, simply this is a cyst formed in the nabothian gland of the cervix. This is a common finding in Routine Pelvic Examination in women of reproductive age. Nabothian cysts are usually white to yellow in color with normal branching vessels.
