Abstract

Cervical polyp incidentally determined during examination is the most common gynecological pathology. Vaginal discharge, vaginal bleeding, malodorous discharge, protruding or palpable mass are the symptoms of cervical polyp. It can be treated with surgical polypectomy. Giant cervical polyp, however, is quite rare and usually seen in women. It causes uterine prolapse. Since it can mimic malignancy should absolutely be ruled out before surgery.

Postmenopozal bir hastada dev servikal polip

Abstract

Muayene esnasında tesadüfen saptanan servikal polipler en sık görülen jinekolojik patolojilerdendir. Vajinal kanama, kötü kokulu akıntı veya kitle şeklinde şikâyete neden olurlar. Tedavi şekli cerrahi olarak çıkarılmasıdır. Büyük servikal polipler ise nadiren görülür. Bu dev polipler rahim sarkmasına neden olabilirler. Malignansileri taklit edebildikleri için cerrahi işlem öncesi mutlaka kanser ayrımı yapılmalıdır.
