ENDOMETRIAL POLYP WITH A STALK PRESENTING IN THE CERVIX


This was a 39 year old lady presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding for the past 1 month .

The trans abdominal images are given first. A cervical polyp was seen .

the following images are acquired trans vaginally and the starking difference in clarity can be appreciated.

the increased vascularity of the polyp in the cervix can be seen

The diagnosis offered was an endometrial polyp with a long stalk situated in the cervix.

The gynaecologist did a polypectomy and cervical and endometrial biopsy.

The histopathology report was :  Endometrial polyp ; Chronic cervicitis .

This case illustrates the superiority of trans vaginal scan over the trans abdominal mode ( though  the diagnosis could have been made trans abdominally also.)
