Giant Cervical Polyps: Report of two Cases and Literature Review

Summary 

Objective

We report two patients with benign giant cervical polyps.

Case Report

A 47-year-old multiparous woman complained of a protruding mass from her vagina for 6 months. On pelvic examination, there was a large cervical polyp measuring 7 × 2.5 cm arising from the endocervix. The polyp was excised by electrocauterization at the base. The pathological report revealed no evidence of malignancy in the polyp. A 45-year-old nulligravid woman suffered from menorrhagia for 2 months and a mass protruding from the vagina was noted for 10 days. On pelvic examination, there were two cervical polyps. One was 5 × 2 cm and arose from the posterior lip of the cervix and the other was 1 × 1 cm and arose from the right lateral lip. The polyps were excised by electrocauterization. The pathological report revealed benign cervical polyps.

Conclusion

Giant cervical polyp is uncommon and malignancy has not been reported in the 11 cases in the literature. Excision was adequate for these lesions.
