The axial CTscan is from a 46 year old female with cervical carcinoma.  The images show an expanded irregular endometrial cavity (yellow) that contains air (black), thickened irregular cervix (soft tissue green), and fluid (yellow).

These findings are consistent cervical  carcinoma or less likely endometrial with secondary obstruction and  pyometria.
