“…[1][2][3]5 Most of the studies in the literature focusing on etiological factors are related with endometrial polyps. Hormonal factors, obesity, late menopause, hormone replacement therapy, polycystic ovary syndrome and Tamoxiphene (Nolvadex, AstraZeneca, UK) use are thought to play an important role in endometrial polyps.…”

“…Although cervical polyps are frequently observed, the etiology is not yet fully clear. [1][2][3]5 To date, there are limited published studies about cervical polyps as well as the research for risk factors that contribute to the etiology. Chronic inflammation (chronic cervicitis, foreign bodies), localised collection/congestion of cervical vasculature, an abnormal local response to hormone stimulation, and other theories have been proposed to explain their pathogenesis.…”

“…Chronic inflammation (chronic cervicitis, foreign bodies), localised collection/congestion of cervical vasculature, an abnormal local response to hormone stimulation, and other theories have been proposed to explain their pathogenesis. 1,3 It was reported that diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HT), and obesity may be risk factors for endometrial polyps even if it is not yet studied whether these conditions primarily influence the development of cervical polyps. [6][7][8] To address this area, this study focused on whether diabetes, hypertension, and obesity can be considered risk factors for cervical polyps.…”

226ervical polyps are common benign neoplasms of the cervix in adult women.1 They are believed to develop as a result of focal hyperplasia.

M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : The hospital-based case-control study was carried out. We retrospectively reviewed the records of 307 consecutive patients with cervical polyps. A control group consisting of 3 women per case-matched by the same age, same parity, same menopausal status and the same presenting symptoms. These groups were compared with respect of diabetes, hypertension and obesity prevalence. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : The study included a total of 212 patients eligible for analysis in cervical polyp group, and a matched control group consisting of 636 women without cervical polyp. Women with cervical polyp had higher body mass index than the controls, but the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.72). The prevalence of obesity was significantly higher in the cervical polyp group than the controls (p=0.016). A statistically significant correlation was found between obesity and cervical polyps (OR: 1.351, CI: 1.062-1,718). There was no significant difference between the groups with respect to the prevalence of diabetes (p=0.795) and hypertension (p=0.703). C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : Obesity appears to be a risk factor for cervical polyps. Obese women should receive special attention for potential coexistence of cervical polyps as part of their gynecological evaluation. This study supports the importance of weight management for the preventive plan of cervical polyps.K Ke ey y W Wo or rd ds s: : Cervix uteri; polyps; diabetes mellitus; hypertension; obesity Ö ÖZ ZE ET T A Am ma aç ç: : Diyabet, hipertansiyon ve obezitenin servikal polipler için risk faktörü olup olmadığını araştırmaktır.

“…It may be that over the course of time, the polyp either becomes infected or outgrow. [2][3][4]9 Giant polyps must be differentiated from other lesion of the cervix such as malignancies including sarcoma botryoides, endocervical carcinoma and other benign lesions such as prolapsing fibroids and retained products of conception. 10 Although cervical polyps are not rare, there are no guidelines for the management of polyps during pregnancy.…”

“…In contrast, giant cervical polyps with a size greater than 4 cm are rare and until now less than ten cases have been reported in the literature [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. They occur in adult women extremely rare in adolescents and are frequently interpreted as malignant neoplasm at the time of the presentation [4,8,9,13].…”

Cervical polyps are most commonly seen in the female with uterine bleeding. On the other hand, giant cervical polyps with a size greater than 4 cm are rare and until now only several cases have been described in literature. The size and the clinical presentation can mimic a cervical neoplasia. The management is surgical and can be conservative regarding to the benign pathological feature of this entity. We report the case of a giant cervical polyp of 12.0 cm which was protruding from the external cervical os and that developed spontaneously in a multiparous 48-year-old woman who clinically presented vaginal bleeding. Colposcopic examination showed a mass originating from posterior lip of external cervical os. On MRI, there was the appearance of multicystic lesion with an inner solid component. We performed that the lesion was resected by the ultrasonic harmonic scalpel. The histological examination showed benign polyp. At 10 months' follow-up, there was no recurrence seen after surgery. Although carcinomatous change occurs in 1.7% of cervical polyps, malignant degeneration did not occur in the previous reported cases. The diagnosis, management and outcome of this rare entity had been reviewed according to the literature.
