    A placental polyp, a retained uterine tissue mass, can cause vaginal bleeding. This case highlights a rare instance in a 26-year-old woman, diagnosed via elevated beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin and ultrasound.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Gynecologic Pathology

    Background:

    • A placental polyp is a uterine mass formed by retained placental tissue after childbirth or abortion.
    • It is characterized by necrotic and hyalinized chorionic villi, often termed 'ghost chorionic villi'.

    Observation:

    • A 26-year-old woman with a history of two pregnancies presented with vaginal bleeding.
    • Investigations revealed a positive pregnancy test and elevated serum beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin (β-hCG) levels.
    • Ultrasound imaging showed a hyperechoic mass within the uterine cavity.

    Findings:

    • The patient underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy for diagnosis and treatment.
    • Pathological examination confirmed the uterine mass as a placental polyp.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering placental polyps in the differential diagnosis of abnormal uterine bleeding, even years after a previous pregnancy.
    • Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial for resolving symptoms and preventing potential complications.
