Naboth died in Leipzig in 1721 leaving a large anatomical collection. Naboth had only rediscovered these cysts first described in 1681 by Guillaume des Noues (1650 – 1735), although the eponym records Naboth’s name. These cysts, which are common and do not represent a sign of cervical cancer, are known today as Nabothian cysts. These mucus-producing glands are known as the and also as Nabothian glands.

In this book he refers to small pearl-like transparent structures found in the uterine cervix. His main publication in 1707 was “De Sterilitate Mulierum” (On Sterility in Women). Although his interests were based in chemistry, Naboth became an avid anatomist, with interest in the anatomy of the female reproductive system. He studied medicine at the University in Leipzig, receiving his doctorate in Philosophy in 1701 and his MD in 1703. He was born in 1675 in Calau, a town in Southern Brandenburg, Germany.
