description Russell bodies are prominent eosinophilic inclusions seen in the cytoplasm of plasma cells and sometimes outside the cell. There are very few publications available in the English literature on Russell Body Cervicitis. Our case is a 40 year old female patient with a positive screening test for HPV DNA. The cervical surface epithelium in biopsy specimens obtained from the cervix completely have eroded intense vesicular eccentric nuclei and large eosinophilic cytoplasm containing focal Russell Body. The infiltration of dense plasma cells were observed. Our case is the fourth case in the English literature. The case is rare and the etiology has not yet been elucidated.
