Published: April 2005

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.
