title: Rare cause of vaginal bleeding in early puberty.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To document an unusual cause of vaginal bleeding in early puberty.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case Report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Clinical presentation with the aid of pelvic ultrasound pointed to the diagnosis of an endometrial polyp in this young adolescent prior to menarche. A hysteroscopy was deemed necessary to allay concerns for a serious pathology and confirm diagnosis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Endometrial polyps are infrequent in adolescents but should be included as a differential diagnosis of vaginal bleeding in this population.
