Endometrial Polyps in Reproductive Age

Abstract

Endometrial polyps are endometrial masses that consist of glands, stroma, and vessels. They can be single or multiple, sessile or pedunculated, and range in size from some millimeters up to several centimeters. Despite the fact they rarely cause symptoms, they are usually found on a routine examination. Therefore, they are a common problem on daily clinical practice. The question of potential malignancy risk as well as the necessity of further treatment are often posed. The present chapter summarizes current evidence regarding risk of malignant transformation as well as indications and methods of appropriate treatment.
