Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Giant cervical polyps are rare entities, with only 8 reported cases in the international literature (MEDLINE 1966-2002). Of these cases, only one has been described in the pediatric population. There has been no report of a giant cervical polyp occurring in the older, although early, adolescent period. The discovery of a giant cervical polyp in a young adolescent is a gynecological oddity. The immense size of giant cervical polyps, together with their menacing appearance and unusual presentation, can simulate a malignant neoplasm. Care must be taken in their diagnosis and management so that the patient's fertility is not compromised. We report on a young adolescent girl with a previous history of a rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), who presented with a giant cervical polyp protruding from the vaginal introitus. The literature on this entity is reviewed. |
