Abstract
BACKGROUND: Very large cervical polyps are rarely reported. CASE: A gi ant cervical polyp, 17 X 10 X 5 cm, protruded through the vaginal intr oitus in a 27-year-old, sexually inactive woman. CONCLUSION: Although carcinomatous change occurs in 1.7% of cervical polyps, malignant dege neration did not occur in the six reported cases. Thus, biopsy of thes e tumors before excision may not be necessary.
