CLINICOPATHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF UTEROCERVICAL POLYPS:A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY.

Dr. Akhtar Un Nisa Salaria, Dr. Faiza Hafiz

Abstract


Background:

Regardless of the menopausal status  or symptoms uterocervical polyps should be removed and pathological examination is necessary. This study was done to analyze the spectrum of histopathological diagnosis on cases of endometrial and cervical polyps. This would help in improving management of cases of symptomatic and asymptomatic polyps.

 

Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of pathology In a tertiary care  teaching hospital over  a period of one year .Women with polypoidal growth from cervix and endometrium were included in the study. Polypectomy was done and the specimen was sent for histopathological examination and data analysed.

 

Results: Total of 110 polyps were reported over a period of one year.

Out of 110 polyps, seventy polyps were diagnosed as endometrial polyps and forty were end cervical polyps.

 

Most of endometrial polyps were seen in the age group of 35 to 44 years . Most of cervical polyps were seen in the age group of 45 to 54 years.

Conclusion:

Both our data and review of literature suggest that the incidence of malignancy in Endocervical and endometrial polyps is a very low and management strategy needs to be individualized.
