Giant Cervical Polyps: Report of two Cases and Literature Review

Abstract

Objective: We report two patients with benign giant cervical polyps. Case Report: A 47-year-old multiparous woman complained of a protruding mass from her vagina for 6 months. On pelvic examination, there was a large cervical polyp measuring 7 × 2.5 cm arising from the endocervix. The polyp was excised by electrocauterization at the base. The pathological report revealed no evidence of malignancy in the polyp. A 45-year-old nulligravid woman suffered from menorrhagia for 2 months and a mass protruding from the vagina was noted for 10 days. On pelvic examination, there were two cervical polyps. One was 5 × 2 cm and arose from the posterior lip of the cervix and the other was 1 × 1 cm and arose from the right lateral lip. The polyps were excised by electrocauterization. The pathological report revealed benign cervical polyps. Conclusion: Giant cervical polyp is uncommon and malignancy has not been reported in the 11 cases in the literature. Excision was adequate for these lesions.
