Cervical, Endocervical, and Endometrial Polyps. The endometrium is the inside lining of the uterus. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that extends down into the top of the vagina. A polyp is a mass of tissue projecting from a mucous membrane, such as the cervix or endometrium. A pedunculated polyp is attached to the mucous membrane by a stalk, which is its blood supply. Endometrial polyps are overgrowths of endometrial glands and stroma in the endometrium. Cervical and endocervical polyps are the most common benign, neoplastic (new) growths of the cervix. Cervical polyps (also referred to as ectocervical) grow on the outside of the cervix.
