An endometrial polyp or uterine polyp is a mass in the inner lining of the uterus.[1] They may have a large flat base (sessile) or be attached to the uterus by an elongated pedicle (pedunculated).[2][3] Pedunculated polyps are more common than sessile ones.[4] They range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters.[3] If pedunculated, they can protrude through the cervix into the vagina.[2][5] Small blood vessels may be present, particularly in large polyps.[2]
