Giant cervical polyp. A case report.
BACKGROUND
Very large cervical polyps are rarely reported.


METHODS
A giant cervical polyp, 17 x 10 x 5 cm, protruded through the vaginal introitus in a 27-year-old, sexually inactive woman.


CONCLUSIONS
Although carcinomatous change occurs in 1.7% of cervical polyps, malignant degeneration did not occur in the six reported cases. Thus, biopsy of these tumors before excision may not be necessary.
