Risk of malignancy on suspicion of polyps in menopausal women
Conclusion The risk of a malignant lesion appears to be high (12%) in menopausal patients aged over 59 presenting an endometrial polyp detected when there is pre-existing AUB. In this situation, hysteroscopic resection of endometrial polyps should therefore be routinely proposed. For other patients, the risk of a malignant lesion is low but not insignificant, standing at about 3%. Each patient record should therefore be discussed on an individual case basis, taking into consideration the patient’s pre-existing conditions, after providing clear and appropriate information.
