The occurrence of heterotopic cartilage islands (HKI) in the uterus wall is a rare event. So far, less than 50 cases have been reported. The present paper describes two additional cases and renders a review of the pertinent literature. The following topics are discussed: epidemiology, localization, morphology, clinical findings, etiology and pathogenesis. The vast majority of the HKI will result from displacement and retention of fetal tissues in the uterine wall. In exceptional cases, a development of HKI due to metaplasia may be discussed.
子宫壁中出现异位软骨岛（HKI）是一种罕见的情况。到目前为止，报道的病例不到50例。本文描述了另外两例病例，并对相关文献进行了综述。讨论了以下主题：流行病学、定位、形态学、临床发现、病因和发病机制。绝大多数HKI是由胎儿组织在子宫壁中的移位和存留所致。在特殊情况下，可能会讨论HKI因化生而形成的情况。
