This case report describes two patients with menorrhagia and pelvic pain in whom ultrasound identified intrauterine cystic polypoid masses (4.5 cm in a 39-year-old and 3.5 cm in a 35-year-old). The first mass was removed by hysteroscopy, while the second could not be resected hysteroscopically and was treated with hysterectomy; in both cases histology confirmed polypoid endometriosis located in cervical mucosa. The main limitation is that, as two clinical cases, the report does not provide comparative data or broader generalizability. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it presents two cases of polypoid endometriosis in the cervical mucosa.

Abstract

We report two cases of polypoid endometriosis: a 39-year-old woman with menorrhagia and pelvic pain whose ultrasound revealed an intrauterine cystic polypoid mass measuring 4.5 cm which was removed by hysteroscopy, and a 35-year-old woman with menorrhagia whose ultrasound showed a 3.5 cm cystic lesion where resection was not possible by hysteroscopy, and the patient underwent hysterectomy. In both, the histological examination confirmed polypoid endometriosis. Polypoid endometriosis is a rare entity that can be found in several places. Here, two cases of polypoid endometriosis in cervical mucosa are described. J Med Cases. 2015;6(1):46-49 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.14740/jmc2021w
