title: Cavernous hemangiomatous polyp: an unusual case of perimenopausal bleeding.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Significant vascular malformations of uterus are rare but can cause serious menorrhagia.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present the case of a 40-year-old multiparous woman who presented with perimenopausal bleeding due to cavernous hemangiomatous polyp successfully treated by polypectomy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Cavernous hemangioma can be a rare cause of perimenopausal bleeding. The same found in a polyp may be treated successfully by polypectomy.
