Cavernous Hemangiomatous Polyp of Uterus

Öz

Vascular malformations of uterus are extremely rare, benign lesions. A survey of the literature identified fewer than 50 cases of hemangioma of the uterus. Here, we describe a rare case of a cavernous hemangiomatous polyp in 36 years old non pregnant wowan with endometrial polypectomy. A vascular lesions localized to a portion of the uterus may be clinically silent during pregnancy and throughout delivery thus making it difficult to detect. Though rare, it may be an important differential in any female patient who presents with non-responsive uterine bleeding and/or unremitting pelvic pain.

Uterusun Kavernöz Hemanjiomatöz Polipi

Öz

Uterusun vasküler malformasyonları son derece nadir görülen benign lezyonlardır. Literatüre bakıldığında 50’den daha az uterus yerleşimli hemanjiom vakası bildirilmiştir. Bizim olgumuz 36 yaşında, hamile olmayan, endometrial polipektomi materyalinde rastlantısal olarak bulunan uterusun kavernöz hemanjiomatöz polibidir. Uterus yerleşimli vasküler lezyonlar doğum ve gebelik sırasında klinik olarak sessiz, tespit edilmesi zor vakalardır. Bu nedenle geçmeyen pelvik ağrı ve tedaviye cevap vermeyen uterus kanamalarında ayırıcı tanıda akılda bulunmalıdır
