Abstract: The presence of intrauterine polypoid masses is a frequently encountered gynecologic pathology, usually associated
with abnormal bleeding and infertility. We investigated a series of 857 consecutive patients with polypoid uterine
masses that showed great histological variability. Although most lesions are benign lesions, the incidence of
neoplastic lesions that can manifest macroscopically as polypoid masses increase with age. Heterogeneity
of histopathological aspects of endometrial polypoid lesions requires a thorough differential diagnosis.
