As there is a small likelihood of recurrence, surveillance after polyp removal is recommended. Endometrial polyp
An endometrial polyp or uterine polyp is a polyp or lesion in the lining of the uterus (endometrium) that takes up space within the uterine cavity. Commonly occurring, they are experienced by up to 10% of women. They may have a large flat base (sessile) or be attached to the uterus by an elongated pedicle (pedunculated). Pedunculated polyps are more common than sessile ones. They range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. If pedunculated, they can protrude through the cervix into the vagina. Small blood vessels may be present in polyps, particularly large ones. Cervical polyp
A cervical polyp is a common benign polyp or tumor on the surface of the cervical canal. They can cause irregular menstrual bleeding or increased pain but often show no symptoms. Nasal polyps
Nasal polyps are polypoidal masses arising mainly from the mucous membranes of the nose and paranasal sinuses. They are overgrowths of the mucosa that frequently accompany allergic rhinitis. They are freely movable and nontender. Laryngeal polyps
Polyps on the vocal folds can take on many different forms, and can sometimes result from vocal abuse, although this is not always the cause. They can occur on one or both vocal folds, and appear as swelling, a bump (similar to a nodule), a stalk-like growth, or a blister-like lesion. Most polyps are larger than nodules, which are more similar to callouses on the vocal folds.
Spondylo-ocular syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterised by lesions in the eye and the spine. Presentation
These can be divided into those affecting the eyes, spine and other areas:

Genetics
This syndrome is caused by inactivating mutations in the xylosyltransferase (XYLT2) gene. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Diagnosis
Treatment
History
This syndrome was first described by Schmidt et al in consanginous Iraqi family in 2001. References
