This is not unusual.: Nabothian cysts are common, mucous filled cysts that look like tiny pearls within the surface of the cervix. They can be seen with the naked eye during a routine pelvic exam, using the speculum to visualize the cervix itself and collect cells for the pap test. The colposcopy test uses magnification to see a larger, more detailed view of the cervix, thus the cysts are just easier to see.
