Here we report an incidental huge uterine-cervical diverticulum from a total abdominal hysterectomy specimen in a perimenopausal woman who presented with acute abdominal pain. The diverticulum was mimicking with various cysts present in the lateral side of the female genital tract. Histopathological examination confirmed this to be a cervical diverticulum with communication to uterine cavity through two different openings. They can attain huge size if left ignored for long duration and present a diagnostic challenge to clinicians, radiologists, as well as pathologists because of its extreme rarity. Therefore, diverticula should also be included as a differential diagnosis. Its histopathological confirmation also highlights that diverticula can present as an acute abdomen, requiring early diagnosis with appropriate timely intervention. Immunohistochemistry CD 10 has also been used to differentiate it from a mesonephric cyst.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can serve as biomarkers for early-diagnosis, therapy, and postoperative care of cervical cancer. Sensitive and reliable quantification of miRNA remains a huge challenge due to its low expressing levels and background interference. Herein, we propose a novel exonuclease-III (Exo-III)-propelled DNAzyme cascade for sensitive and high-efficient miRNA analysis.
