Abasiattai A, Atat B, Ebu A, Abudu K. A large cervical fibroid polyp: Case report and management challenges in a low resource setting. J Case Rep Images Obstet Gynecol 2026;12(1):49–53.ABSTRACT
Introduction: Cervical fibroid polyps (CFPs) are reported to be very rare. When large, they may result in varying clinical presentations, diagnostic difficulties, management challenges and significant morbidity and mortality.
Case Report: We hereby report the case of a 33-year-old primiparous lady who presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding and was found to be severely anemic (PCV 20%) with a firm, non-tender, smooth-surfaced mass that protruded through the cervical rim. The large 6 cm CFP was successfully removed and the patient had a good outcome.
Conclusion: This case report underscores the necessity of a thorough clinical examination including a vaginal examination in all patients who have similar presentations, to enable prompt and timely diagnosis and appropriate management.
