in Uterine/Endometrial Cancer #1

After I had this procedure done which was to remove polyp and get biopsy.The doctor told me there wasn’t a polyp but other test showed polyp or endometrial mass. So I was confused. Has this happen to anyone else?

    Was the other test an ultrasound? They're not very precise. A thickened endometrium can look like a polyp, and vice versa. I'm not even sure a CT will always tell the difference. The uterus is like a collapsed balloon. If it were full of liquid or air, imaging would be more accurate. But it's close quarters in there.
