ESTEVINHO, Catarina; PINTO, Ana Rita    OLIVEIRA, Cristina. A giant cervical polyp in a young woman. []. , 15, 3, pp.296-297.   30--2021. ISSN 1646-5830.

A 15 years-old woman presented with an abnormal mass prolapsing through the introitus. An operative hysteroscopy revealed an elongated mass with 7 cm in length consistent with an endocervical polyp. The histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. At 3 months follow-up, there was no evidence of recurrence. Cervical polyps are rare in adolescents, with few cases with a size ≥3 cm reported in the literature. Minimally invasive surgery through vaginoscopic approach is a good option to see and treat genital tract pathology in women with intact hymen or limited vaginal access.
