Abstract：Objective To analyze the clinical features and misdiagnosis cause of endophytic cervical squamous cell car-cinoma in order to enhance awareness of reconstruction of the disease. Methods Clinical data of 3 cases misdiagnosed as endo-phytic cervical squamous carcinoma was analyzed retrospectively. Results 3 female patients, aged 32,,47 and 50 years old were misdiagnosed and treated ineffectively as dysfunctional uterine bleeding due to abnormal vaginal bleeding in some local rural hospitals. Later, cervical cancer was suggested by high-risk HPV examination, diagnostic curettage pathological, pelvic ultra-sound and then confirmed by cervical histological examination. 2 patients survived after surgery with radiotherapy and chemother-apy, and 1 patient was lost for follow-up. Conclusion Endophytic cervical squamous carcinoma tends to be ignored by clini-cians because of lack of obvious neoplasm on the surface of the cervix. Clinicians should pay close attention to inspecting the cer-vix of those women without regular cervical cytology screening or high-risk HPV examinations.
