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 .
trans abdominal multi planar view
trans abdominal colour doppler showing a long vascular stalk
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 multi planar 3 d image shows increased flow in the polyp and the stalk arising from the endometrium
the vascular stalk is seen
reconstructed image showing the stalk arising from endometrium and the polyp in the cervix
multi planar image showing the polyp
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.)
