S J Steigrad, C J Margin

    The Australian & New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology
    |November 1, 1978

    Summary

    A uterine polyp diagnosis was reevaluated after a patient presented with cervical extrusion. The mass was identified as a Fallopian tube, displaced by a prior uterine perforation.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Surgical Complications
    • Reproductive Medicine

    Background:

    • Uterine polyps are common gynecological findings.
    • Cervical extrusion of uterine contents can mimic other pathologies.
    • Previous uterine procedures carry risks of perforation.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a clinical diagnosis of a uterine polyp extruded through the cervix.
    • The extruded mass was initially presumed to be a uterine polyp.

    Findings:

    • Post-evaluation, the mass was identified as a Fallopian tube.
    • The Fallopian tube had migrated into the uterus through a fundal perforation.
    • The perforation resulted from a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure 10 months prior.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a rare complication of uterine curettage.
    • Misdiagnosis is possible when evaluating extruded cervical masses.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate patient management and surgical planning.
