	Endometrial Polyp
		A case of an endometrial polyp which developed in a 74-year-old woman treated with tamoxifen for 15 years after breast cancer surgery was the stimulus for this brief and concise review of the endometrial changes caused by anti-estrogen treatment in post-menopausal women with breast cancer.
		Benign endometrial polyps belong in the differential diagnosis of adenofibroma and adenosarcoma.
		Endometrial polyps are a frequent cause of abnormal uterine bleeding, but their pathogenesis is poorly understood.

		My doctor wants to remove a polyp that is approximately 7mm (it is located at the top of my uterus and the doctor feels it may be preventing me from getting pregnant).
		The standard method for removal of these polyps is hysteroscopy, a minimally invasive procedure which may be able to be performed in the office.
		Endometrial polyps are relatively common and rarely cancerous.

		Whereas polyps and the case of hyperplasia did not alter the basalis-myometrial interface, the myomata and invasive cancer were characterized by the disruption of this interface.
		Sonohysterogram was obtained in a uterus with early proliferative endometrium by distension of the endometrial cavity by inserting a catheter within the cavity and instillation of 2 cc of sterile normal saline.
		The endometrial cavity is surveyed from cornu to cornu to locate an endometrial polyp protruding into the endometrial cavity from the right-posterior wall of the fundus.

	eMedicine - Endometrium, Carcinoma : Article by Faysal A Saksouk, MD
		In the secretory phase, the endometrial stripe thickens to a mean of 14-16 mm in AP width and becomes diffusely hyperechoic secondary to accumulation of mucus and glycogen in the increasingly tortuous glands.
		Although considerable overlap exists in the endometrial thickness and appearance between the various benign and malignant histologic types, several reports suggest that the presence of a thin stripe is usually associated with atrophic endometrium and may indicate that a histologic diagnosis is not necessary.
		Endometrial thickness, as reported in the literature, is a bilayer measurement combining the AP width of both the anterior and posterior layers of the endometrium, exclusive of possible intracavitary content.

		Another two cases were misdiagnosed as endometrial hyperplasia, because the endometrium was diffusely thickened upon HS after an adequate instillation of saline, with the endometrial walls measuring 8 mm and 10 mm in thickness, respectively.
		A case that was misdiagnosed as an endometrial polyp upon HS examination was found to have attached hemorrhagic debris in the endometrial cavity during hysteroscopy and on the pathology tests.
		Endometrial hyperplasia and hyperplastic polyps could not be easily distinguished with the biopsy specimen alone, and a small focal abnormality sometimes could not be matched on biopsy.

	Hope For Fibroids Hysterosonography (Sonohysterogram) for Uterine Fibroids and Abnormal Menstrual Bleeding
		The essence of the study is that sterile saline distending the endometrial cavity significantly improves the clarity of transvaginal ultrasound assessment of endometrial abnormalities.
		Thereafter, a thin relatively soft catheter is placed through the endocervical canal into the endometrial cavity.
		A small retention balloon is inflated at the end of the catheter to hold it in place and the speculum is removed.

		Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer and has a very high cure rate when caught in it's earliest stages.
		Prior to my endometrial cancer diagnosis and all that testing and then surgery that followed, the only invasive procedure I had in my life previously was a tonsilectomy at age 5.
		A hysterosonogram showed a thickening at the top of the uterus which he believes is the rest of the polyp or a new polyp.

	Endometrial Polyps - New Treatments, May 2, 2007 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Endometrial polyps are benign tumors consisting of surface endometrium, fibrous stroma, and thick-walled, centrally positioned blood vessels.
		A clonal rearrangement of chromosome 6p21 is common in the mesenchymal (stroma) cells in the polyp.
		One possible explanation of these findings is that an endometrial polyp begins when a stromal cell undergoes a rearrangement in chromosome 6p21 resulting in an abnormal signal to grow.

		An endometrial polyp is a benign tumor consisting of surface endometrium lining three sides of the tumor, fibrous stroma, and thick-walled, centrally positioned blood vessels endometrial polyps.
		Polyps are typically diagnosed by sonography (especially sensitive in the follicular phase), saline infusion hysterosonography, hysterosalpingography, hysteroscopy, or curettage.
		Curettage often fails to remove endometrial polyps because of the mobility.

		In fertile women, endometrial thickening is concerning for endometrial cancer (though less so than postmenopausal females), endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial polyps, and submucosal fibroids.
		Thus, to reiterate - the endometrium must be evaluated in the context of the woman's reproductive stage of life to decide on a differential pathway based on endometrial characteristic - fluid collection within endometrial cavity versus a thickened endometrium.
