I have cervical polyp removed 2 weeks ago, and biopsy done. I received a call from mt oby-gyne that this polyp is positive for cancer cells. My pop smear is normal and cervical biopsy is normal too. What is this and where this cancer cells originated?
Thanks for your question on HCM. I can understand your situation and problem. But cervical polyp can be malignant too. Mpstly cervical polyps are benign and hyper plastic in nature. But can behave as early malignancy. And to have normal PAP smear with normal cervical biopsy and malignant polyp is possible. So better to consult oncologist and get done PET scan to rule out distal metastases. And you may need enblock removal of uterus as you are having early stage malignancy. The prognosis is excellent. So no need to worry much.
