Two cases of cervical melanosis, an uncommon process characterized by hyperpigmentation of the basal epithelium, with or without accompanying basal melanocytes, are reported. The etiology of cervical melanosis is uncertain but may represent a metaplastic change in response to trauma or chronic irritation. On gross examination, it is not possible to reliably separate the different causes of cervical pigmentation; consequently, any pigmented cervical lesion should be biopsied.
报告了两例宫颈黑变病，这是一种不常见的病变，其特征为基底上皮色素沉着，伴有或不伴有基底黑素细胞。宫颈黑变病的病因尚不确定，但可能是对创伤或慢性刺激的一种化生改变。在大体检查中，无法可靠地区分宫颈色素沉着的不同原因；因此，任何宫颈色素沉着病变均应进行活检。
