Vaginal polyp: an unusual cause of postmenopausal bleeding

摘要

Postmenopausal bleeding (PMB) can be due to various causes. The commonest cause is atrophy of the vagina or the endometrium. Endometrial cancer accounts for 10% cases of PMB. We present this unusual case of fibroepithelial polyp of the vagina as a cause for PMB. Vaginal fibroepithelial polyp is a rare lesion, and although benign, it can be confused with malignant connective tissue lesions. Treatment is simple excision, and recurrence is extremely uncommon.
