Endometrial polyps are localized overgrowth of endometrial glands and stroma through the uterine cavity, that are commonly associated with postmenopausal bleeding, infertility and menorrhagia. Several cases have been described in the literature that usually develops secondary to tamoxifen use or by unbalanced estrogen therapy. The polyps commonly do not extend from the external cervical os, and can mimic endocervical polyp or cervical neoplasia if seen protruding. Giant polyps originating from the uterine cavity and protruding from the cervical os are rare entity. However, we report three cases diagnosed at our centre with giant endometrial polyp presenting with varied symptoms, thus being the first case series to be done on giant endometrial polyps. Diagnosis, management and outcome of this rare entity have been discussed according to the literature.
