Benign endocervical polyp: Cervix

Overview

Endocervical polyps are common benign lesions that can be asymptomatic or cause spotting and post-coital bleeding. They have a fibrovascular core and can have both exocervical squamous epithelium and endocervical glandular epithelium. Inflammation, reactive changes and microglandular hyperplasia are common findings within endocervical polyps.
