Sumario:Fibrous uterine polyps are very common in women during or after menopause, and less often seen in women of child-bearing age, with a maximum of frequency between 40, and 49 years. They can have various locations in the uterus depending on the patient's age, mostly the body, and fundus. We report a rare case of cervical localization of a pedicled fibrous polyp issuing from the cervix, in a 44-year-old female patient with 3 living children and a history of miscarriage, who had been presenting breakthrough bleeding, and pelvic pain for 3 months. It is essential to remind young radiologists of the different presentations of fibrous polyps, how to explore them better and when to fear malignancy and thus insist in a histologic study, in order to help clinicians to choose the most adequate treatment option.
