Giant endocervical polyps, a case reports and a brief review of literature

Although endocervical polyps are reportedly quite common benign neoplasm of the cervix in the female adult population, giant cervical polyps with a size greater than 4 cm are rare. They are considered to be a focal overgrowth of epithelium which arises from the endocervical canal or, less often from the ectocervix. Majority of cervical polipoid lesions are incidental findings due to their small size and asymptomatic nature. Although polyps are frequently observed etiology is not yet fully clear. Vaginal discharge, vaginal bleeding, protruding or palpable mass are the symptoms of endocervical polyps. The removal is generally easy to perform in an office procedure. We report the case of a giant cervical polyp of 7 cm occurring in a multiparous 44-years-old woman who clinically presented vaginal bleeding and discharge. In this study, the diagnosis, management and clinical presentation of this rare entity had been reviewed according to the literature.
