Endometrial polyps are benign disorganized growth of endometrial glands and stroma in the uterine cavity. They are associated with subfertility, abnormal uterine bleeding, and tamoxifen use. While most polyps are smaller than 2 cm in size, rare giant polyps can cause concerns over malignancy. We report a case of a 15 cm giant endometrial polyp in a 58-year-old woman with a history of tamoxifen use who presented with an uncommon complaint of constipation. Additionally, a literature review of giant endometrial polyp cases is presented. This case represents the largest reported endometrial polyp to date.
子宫内膜息肉是子宫腔内子宫内膜腺体和间质的良性杂乱生长。它们与生育力低下、异常子宫出血以及他莫昔芬的使用有关。虽然大多数息肉大小小于2厘米,但罕见的巨大息肉可能会引发对恶性肿瘤的担忧。我们报告一例58岁有他莫昔芬使用史的女性患者,其患有一个15厘米的巨大子宫内膜息肉,该患者以罕见的便秘主诉就诊。此外,还对巨大子宫内膜息肉病例进行了文献综述。该病例是迄今为止报道的最大的子宫内膜息肉。
