Hysteroscopy and Endometrial Polyps

Endometrial polyps are exophytic growths of the mucous linings of the endometrium. They differ in size, shape, number and appearances. The surface epithelium of the polyp is smooth and similar to surrounding epithelium. They differ from pedunculated fibroids in the manner of surface epithelium and vascularity through the peduncle along with the surface of the growth. Polyps can be associated with glandular hyperplasia and can remain latent for a longer period of time.
