CLINICAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL ASPECTS IN A CASE OF ENDOMETRIAL POLYP

Abstract

The subject of this paper is the presentation of a case of uterine bleeding, that occurred on day 20 of the menstrual cycle, in a 30-year-old woman who was examined clinically, ultrasound and with laboratory tests. Transvaginal ultrasound examination revealed the existence of an endometrial polyp. Because the bleeding was very profuse, blind uterine curretage was performed, for hemostatic and biopsy purposes. Histopathological examination of endometrial fragments confirmed polypoid transformation of the uterine mucoasa. The metrorrhagia was complicated by the association with anemia, the patient having a poor nutritional status, and a urinary infection with Escherichia Coli.
