Endometrial polyps are localized overgrowth of endometrial glands and stoma through the uterine cavity. They are associated with postmenopausal bleeding, infertility and menorrhagia and are affected by unbalanced oestrogen therapy or increased frequency of tamoxifen exposure. We report a case of giant endometrial polyp in postmenopausal female without vaginal bleeding and hormone or drug use. A 65-year-old, postmenopausal female P3L2 with hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus (DM) came for routine health check-up. Her physical examination was normal. Pelvic examination uterus was multiparous sized, mid positioned and bilateral fornices were free. Patient was planned for hysteroscopic guided biopsy as her Ultrasonography (USG) showed endometrial thickness to be 12.3 mm. On hysteroscopy, there was hyperplastic endometrium with large endometrial polyp of size 8.5 cm. Polypectomy was done and the same was sent for histopathological evaluation. Report showed cystic hyperplasia without atypia. To summarize, postmenopausal female will not always present with symptoms and USG can also quite frequently miss the diagnosis, so proper evaluation is needed using hysteroscopy which is gold standard for diagnosis and treatment of endometrial polyp.
子宫内膜息肉是子宫内膜腺体和间质通过子宫腔的局限性过度生长。它们与绝经后出血、不孕和月经过多有关,并且受到雌激素治疗不平衡或他莫昔芬暴露频率增加的影响。我们报告一例绝经后女性巨大子宫内膜息肉病例,该患者无阴道出血,未使用激素或药物。一名65岁、绝经后女性,孕3产2,患有高血压和糖尿病,前来进行常规健康检查。她的体格检查正常。盆腔检查子宫为经产型大小,中位,双侧穹窿无异常。由于超声检查显示子宫内膜厚度为12.3mm,该患者计划接受宫腔镜引导下活检。宫腔镜检查时,发现子宫内膜增生,并伴有一个大小为8.5cm的巨大子宫内膜息肉。进行了息肉切除术,并将切除物送去做组织病理学评估。报告显示为无异型性的囊性增生。总之,绝经后女性并不总是有症状表现,超声检查也经常会漏诊,因此需要使用宫腔镜进行恰当评估,宫腔镜是诊断和治疗子宫内膜息肉的金标准。
