The cervix is an infrequent site for polypoid endometriosis.\nWe report a 40-year-old female presented with irregular bleeding and on examination detected to have an endocervical polyp. She underwent polypectomy and histopathological examination suggested polypoid endometriosis. She remained asymptomatic during two years of follow-up.\nPolypoid endometriosis is a variant of endometriosis that may be mistaken for a neoplasm on clinical and pathologic examination. There is often a delay in diagnosis resulting in unnecessary suffering and reduced quality of life. Though a rare entity, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of all cervical polyp.\nDownloads\nDownloads\nPublished\nHow to Cite\nIssue\nSection\nLicense\nCopyright (c) 2021 Dr Syed Asif Hashmi, Dr Yashika Bhatia, Dr Sanjay Singh\nThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.\nAll the articles published in GORM are licensed with \"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License (CC BY 4.0)\".
