“…They are more frequent in parous women over 20 years of age and most of them (60-70%) are asymptomatic and found on routine speculum examination of cervix. [2][3][4][5][6][7] They can however cause symptoms such as intermenstrual, postcoital and postmenopausal bleeding as well as vaginal discharge. It is common practice to remove these polyps whenever they are identified and the main reason for this is the concern over the potential for malignant transformation.…”

Background: Cervical polyps are the commonest cervical lesions and occur in about 2-5% of women. It is common practice to remove these polyps whenever they are identified and the main reason for this is the concern over the potential for malignant transformation. This study was done to analyse the spectrum of histopathological diagnosis in cases of cervical polyps and to identify focus of malignancy if present. This would help us to improve further management of cases of symptomatic and asymptomatic cervical polypsMethods: This study was conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in a tertiary care teaching hospital over a period of two years. Women with a polypoidal growth from the cervix visualized on per speculum examination were included in the study. Polypectomy was done and the specimen sent for histopathological examination and the data analysed.Results: Total of 107 women was included in the study. Most of the women (47.7%) were in the age group 40-49 years. Endocervical mucous polyp was found to be the most common lesion (50.5%) followed by benign endometrial polyp (21.5%), and leiomyomatous polyp in 13.1%. There were no foci of malignancy identified in any of these polyps.Conclusions: As the incidence of malignancy in endocervical polyp is very low, it is suggested that in cases of asymptomatic polyps, there is a role for expectant management with no intervention and these patients can be followed up leading to significant savings in health resources

“…An hysteroscopic morcellator (intra uterine morcellator) has a rotary blade for resection and suction to remove tissue fragments. 9 The disadvantage of hysteroscopic morcellators is that they cannot be used to cauterize bleeding vessels. The hysteroscopic morcellator is also not designed to reach deeper myomas.…”

Background: Huge cervical polyps are rarely encountered in gynecologic practice. A cervical polyp is a growth arising from the mucosal surface of the ectocervix or the endocervical canal. A cervical polyp may be the result of infection, an abnormal response to increased levels of estrogen, and local congestion of cervical vessels. Cervical polyps are typically benign and are rarely seen prior to the onset of menarche. Case: This article describes a case of a giant cervical polyp of 10 cm occurring in a 16-year-old virgin who clinically presented with severe metrorrhagia. Results: The polyp was excised abdominally with no recurrence 6 months after surgery. Conclusions: Giant cervical fibroids are rare but may occur at any age. Accurate diagnosis is needed before any intervention. Vaginal polypectomy is the treatment of choice for most of cervical polyps. Histologic examination for all cervical polyps is recommended to exclude malignancy. ( J GYNECOL SURG 29:327)
