[|Human|] Hello. I just had a regular pap smear administered the other day and the nurse said she found a lump on my cervix. I am sure it is a cervical cyst because I am positive I had one once before. I have never had an abnormal pap smear in the past, but would the presence of a cyst during this exam result in an "abnormal" pap smear result?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, lump in cervix is always abnormal. It does not mean that it is malignant lesion. Following are the possible causes for lump in cervix. 1.  Cervical polyp 2. Cervical cyst 3. Granulators lesions (infectious). 4. Malignant nodule.  Etc. The most common cause is cervical polyp. It is benign condition but can cause malignant transformation in latter part of life. So better to consult gynecologist and get done removal of cervical lump. Also send it for histopathological examination to rule out malignant lesion. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
