Diagnostic Ultrasound - Abdomen and Pelvis

Endometrial Polyp
(Left) Longitudinal
transvaginal ultrasound shows
focal nonspecific thickening of
the endometrium ſt in a
patient with dysfunctional
uterine bleeding. The majority
of the endometrium is
atrophic, with a thin trilaminar
appearance . (Right)
Longitudinal transvaginal
ultrasound during saline
infusion in the same patient
reveals an elongated
pedunculated polyp ſt with a
small stalk corresponding
to the focal area of
endometrial thickening.
Diagnoses: Female Pelvis
(Left) Longitudinal
transvaginal ultrasound of the
cervix shows a large polyp ſt
prolapsing through the
external os . Small internal
cystic spaces are visible
near the internal os. (Right)
Sagittal T2-weighted MR in
the same patient shows the
polyp protruding through the
cervical canal ſt. The polyp is
hypointense relative to the
normal endometrium , with
the exception of internal cystic
spaces .
(Left) Longitudinal
transvaginal ultrasound shows
nonspecific focal thickening
ſt in the upper endometrium,
which could be secondary to
hyperplasia, a polyp, or
carcinoma. (Right)
Longitudinal transvaginal
ultrasound in the same patient
following saline infusion
reveals 2 sessile polyps ſt
corresponding to the region of
focal endometrial thickening.
