Abstract
BACKGROUND: Hemangioma of the cervix and focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver are both thought to be congenital vascular anomalies that could be associated with exogenous hormone use. CASE: A 34-year-old woman taking oral contraceptives developed hemangioma of the cervix and focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver. CONCLUSION: Cervical hemangioma can occur with focal nodular hyperplasia, and both could be related to oral contraceptives.
