ABSTRACT

Cervicovaginal polyps are frequent exophytic lesions that range from small and sessile protrusions to large polypoid masses that protrude through the cervical orifice. These can be classified as benign, premalignant or malignant and the component tissues can be epithelial, mesenchymal or mixed. Most cervicovaginal polyps are asymptomatic and discovered during the pelvic examination or the pathological evaluation of a hysterectomy sample. Most are benign and less than 1% malignant. The main objective of this investigation was to determine the incidence of cervicovaginal polyps in patients with active sexual life as well as the clinical manifestations present in these. The results obtained from the interrogations of the patients who attended the Cell Biology Laboratory of the Early Detection of Cancer program from 2001 to 2018 period were analyzed. Of a total of 2,529 patients, 28 presented cervicovaginal polyp and 2,501 no, which is why an incidence of 1.10% is reported in our patients.
