Study Objective: To document an unusual cause of vaginal bleeding in early puberty.
Design: Case Report.
Results: Clinical presentation with the aid of pelvic ultrasound pointed to the diagnosis of an endometrial polyp in this young adolescent prior to menarche. A hysteroscopy was deemed necessary to allay concerns for a serious pathology and confirm diagnosis.
Conclusion: Endometrial polyps are infrequent in adolescents but should be included as a differential diagnosis of vaginal bleeding in this population.
