Placental polyp is a organized mass of retained bits of placental tissue following delivery, which is hyalinized during their prolonged retention. It is a rare entity, histologically composed of necrotic and hyalinized chorionic villi. These placental masses present within days to weeks following an abortion or delivery of a term placenta. The usual clinical presentations are abnormal uterine b...

Prevention of progression to invasive carcinoma in patients with a premalignant endometrial lesion using longterm treatment with levonorgestrel (LNG) releasing intrauterine systems (IUS) remains controversial, especially when manifest cellular atypia has been found in the endometrial biopsy specimen. We present a case of a 44-year old premenopausal woman with a premalignant uterine polyp who de...

The incidence of cancer from adenomyosis is rare. Previously, only two cases of clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) arising from adenomyosis have been reported in English literature. Here, we report a case of CCA arising from adenomyosis. A 52-year-old postmenopausal Korean woman presented with complaints of vaginal bleeding and back pain. Endometrial biopsy revealed endometrial polyp with atrophic...

Today, infertility takes a major place in gynecology practice. Non-puerperal uterine inversion is a rare event and usually accompanies submucous myoma, leiomyosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, malignant mixed Mullerian tumour, and endometrial polyp. Herein, we report a 39-year-old woman who suffered from secondary infertility together with uterine inversion, which is an extremely rare co-existence.

Bizarre stromal cells have been reported in vulvovaginal polyps, as well as in nongynecologic sites, with caution not to mistake them for malignancy. Similar atypical stromal cells have only rarely been reported in the endometrium. We present a case found incidentally in a postmenopausal woman, and review the literature.

OBJECTIVE Aim of this study was to evaluate role of hysteroscopy in thickened endometrium (>5 mm) associated with tamoxifen therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed dilatation and curettage (D&C) and hysteroscopic biopsy to patients for evaluation of thickened endometrium in tamoxifen therapy. One hundred and nine asymptomatic patients with estrogen receptor positive breast cancer treated ...

BACKGROUND The objectives of this study were to determine the effectiveness the effectiveness of post-polypectomy hysteroscopic endometrial resection in preventing the recurrence of endometrial polyps in post-menopausal patients and analyse the complications and necessity of additional surgery in patients, in addition to their degree of satisfaction. METHODS A prospective longitudinal study o...

Objective Endometrial polyps are localised growths of endometrial tissue containing glands, stroma and blood vessels, covered with epithelium. The reported prevalence of endometrial polyps is dependent upon the population being studied and the uterine imaging technique utilised. The light microscopy literature provides very little information regarding their microvasculature and lymphatic syste...
