Case Study: Schistosomiasis of the Endocervical Canal, A Rarely Reported Localization

We report the asymptomatic case of endocervical schistosomiasis without visible exocervical lesions in a 41-yr-old Malagasy woman with human papillomavirus-positive status detected during a cervical cancer screening campaign in Andilampanahy, Madagascar. Schistosomiasis involving only the endocervical canal is rarely reported and can be diagnosed histologically with endocervical brushing, which therefore represents a minimally invasive and well-tolerated tool for disease detection.
