Endometrial Polyps on Ultrasound: Key Features for Radiologists

Benign endometrial polyps appear as focal echogenic round or ovoid lesions on ultrasound, best seen during the proliferative phase when the hypoechoic functional layer enhances contrast. Often sessile or pedunculated, they can cause endometrial thickening and are associated with…

• Teaching video from Radquarters reviews the sonographic diagnosis of endometrial polyps, emphasizing their echogenic nature and preferential visualization during the proliferative phase.
• These benign growths can be sessile or pedunculated, often causing endometrial thickening, and may present with abnormal uterine bleeding or infertility.
• Aimed at radiology trainees and practitioners, the lecture reinforces recognition of this common pelvic ultrasound finding.
