Abstract

Introduction: Cervical polyps are small pedunculate, often sessile neoplasm of the cervix. It is not known whether this is due to chronic inflammation, or abnormal local responsiveness to hormonal stimulation, or localized vascular congestion of cervical blood vessels. They occur most frequently in multiparous women in the fifth decade of life.

Case Description: Here, we are reporting a case of a giant cervical polyp in a 38-year-old nulliparous lady who reported heavy menstrual bleeding and mass per vagina.

Conclusion: Since a giant cervical polyp can mimic chronic inversion of the uterus, cervical fibroid, endometrial polyp, and cervical malignancy, it requires ruling out of these conditions before GnRH therapy.

Keywords: Cervical polyp, GnRH, nulliparous, heavy menstrual bleeding, malignancy, young female.
