Hemangiomas are benign tumors, which considered being in distance between hamartomas and true neoplasms. Most of the hemangiomas arise in head and neck region and the others grow is trunk and extremities. Hemangiomas of the uterine cervix are rare. They are usually harmless and appear as dark red or purple mass. Our case is a 35 years old patient suffering from intermittent vaginal bleeding and had a well-defined polypoid mass in vaginal examination. The natural history of cervical hemangioma is regression and involution. Biopsy must be undertaken with circumspection because serious bleeding can occur.
