Sumario:Endometrial polyps are the benign localized overgrowth of endometrial tissue composed of a variable amount of gland, fibroblast-like spindle cells stroma, and thick-walled blood vessels. They develop as a result of unbalanced estrogens and progestin. Polyps greater than 4 cm are considered giant polyps. We report a case of giant endometrial polyp in a postmenopausal woman who presented with postmenopausal bleeding without any history of hormone or drug intake. However, the possible cause may be the age and use of phytoestrogens in the daily routine diet for a long time.
