Hemangiomas of the uterus are benign neoplasms that can occur in any age group, with a predilection for reproductive age females. It is a benign vascular tumor and should be kept as a differential diagnosis for uterine endometrial mass lesions. Conservative management, such as local excision and laser ablation may help avoid unnecessary hysterectomy in such patients. We report the rare case of a 52-year-old postmenopausal woman who presented with a mass protruding into the vagina associated with bleeding and discharge and was suspected of having an endometrial malignancy that was finally diagnosed as a large endometrial polypoidal hemangiomatous polyp on histopathology. This case report underscores the importance of considering hemangiomatous lesions in the differential diagnosis of uterine polypoidal mass lesions for appropriate management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/jmh.jmh_87_26","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,8]],"date-time":"2026-07-08T08:00:21Z","timestamp":1783497621000},"page":"315-317","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Endometrial Hemangiomatous Polyp Presenting as Postmenopausal Bleeding and Mimicking Uterine Malignancy: A Rare Diagnostic Challenge"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Akriri","family":"Jindal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Lab Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bathinda, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ankita","family":"Soni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Lab Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bathinda, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gargi","family":"Kapatia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Lab Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bathinda, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manjit Kaur","family":"Rana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Lab Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bathinda, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20260713","first-page":"69","article-title":"Uterine vascular lesions","volume":"6","author":"Vijayakumar","year":"2013","journal-title":"Rev Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"R2-20260713","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e8413","DOI":"10.1002\/ccr3.8413","article-title":"Cavernous hemangioma of corpus imitating endometrial polyp in a young non-pregnant woman: A case report study","volume":"12","author":"Emami","year":"2024","journal-title":"Clin Case Rep"},{"key":"R3-20260713","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"567","DOI":"10.5858\/arpa.2011-0078-RS","article-title":"Uterine hemangioma: A rare pathologic entity","volume":"136","author":"Chou","year":"2012","journal-title":"Arch Pathol Lab Med"},{"key":"R4-20260713","first-page":"125","article-title":"Uterine hemangioma presenting as an endometrial polyp in a postmenopausal woman","volume":"48","author":"Ullah","year":"2022","journal-title":"Curr Health Sci J"},{"key":"R5-20260713","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"20","DOI":"10.52827\/hititmedj.755031","article-title":"Cavernous hemangiomatiopath of the uterus","volume":"3","author":"Varl\u0131","year":"2021","journal-title":"Hitit Med J"},{"key":"R6-20260713","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"286","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mehy.2008.02.015","article-title":"Possibilities and potential roles of estrogen in the pathogenesis of proliferation hemangiomas formation","volume":"71","author":"Sun","year":"2008","journal-title":"Med Hypotheses"},{"key":"R7-20260713","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"220","DOI":"10.4103\/0377-4929.182024","article-title":"Cavernous hemangiomatous polyp of uterus: A report of case and review of literature","volume":"59","author":"Shahid","year":"2016","journal-title":"Indian J Pathol Microbiol"},{"key":"R8-20260713","first-page":"132","article-title":"Hemangioma of uterus \u2013 a rare case report","volume":"5","author":"Nagure","year":"2019","journal-title":"Indian J Appl Radiol"}],"container-title":["Journal of Mid-life Health"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/10.4103\/jmh.jmh_87_26","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,13]],"date-time":"2026-07-13T09:00:31Z","timestamp":1783933231000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/10.4103\/jmh.jmh_87_26"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,4]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/jmh.jmh_87_26","relation":{},"ISSN":["0976-7800","0976-7819"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0976-7800","type":"print"},{"value":"0976-7819","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,4]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2026-02-24","name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-04-21","name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
