Endometrial polyps are a common cause of abnormal vaginal bleeding and infertility, which can be identified with different imaging methods. A lack of distention of the endometrial cavity is not a common presentation of endometrial polyps and is associated with endometrial carcinoma. In this article,...

description | Endometrial polyps are a common cause of abnormal vaginal bleeding and infertility, which can be identified with different imaging methods. A lack of distention of the endometrial cavity is not a common presentation of endometrial polyps and is associated with endometrial carcinoma. In this article, we present a case of a 30-year-old patient with previous history of infertility and abnormal vaginal bleeding. During a hysterosalpingography (HSG), we were not able to distend the endometrial cavity. Therefore, we performed a transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and a pelvic magnetic resonance study, which showed an obstructive endometrial polyp adjacent to the internal cervical os. This structure was successfully removed through hysteroscopy by the gynecology department. |
