In my experience this is usually due to an overzealous radiologist who comments on everything while reading a CAT scan. Blame it on the personal injury lawyers, who force doctors to mention every possible thing, no matter how rare or harmless. It ususually turns out to be a slightly enlarged cervix, which is common after vaginal deliveries. However, other possibilities include Nabothian cysts (benign and extremely common mucous cysts of the cervix), an assymetrical cervix from scarring secondary to childbirth, or cervical cancer. A thorough pelvic exam and a pap smear (and colposcopy if necessary) should solve the problem.
