BACKGROUND: Very large cervical polyps are rarely reported. CASE: A giant cervical polyp, 17 x 10 x 5 cm, protruded through the vaginal introitus in a 27-year-old, sexually inactive woman. CONCLUSION: Although carcinomatous change occurs in 1.7% of cervical polyps, malignant degeneration did not occur in the six reported cases. Thus, biopsy of these tumors before excision may not be necessary.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate pregnancy outcome following uterine unification procedures in patients with uterine anomalies. METHODS: A retrospective survey included all abdominal metroplasty procedures performed on 43 patients at the American University of Beirut Medical Center between January 1, 1974 and December 31, 1991. Age at metroplasty, type of anomaly and surgical procedures, as well as preoperative and postoperative reproductive performance were all recorded. RESULTS: Forty (93%) out of 43 patients who underwent metroplasty had postoperative live births compared with five (12%) prior to surgery. The fetal wastage rate dropped from 93% pre- to 16% postoperatively. All seven patients with a history of primary infertility conceived and had live births. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest a remarkable improvement following abdominal metroplasty in patients with both typical and uncharacteristic preoperative reproductive performance.

Fetal lung measurements were obtained by ultrasonographic examination on 103 normal pregnancies between 18 and 41 weeks' gestation. A linear relationship between right, left and total lung circumference and gestational age was observed. The chest and heart circumference correlated well with gestational age (p less than 0.001). The ratio of left lung circumference to right lung circumference remained virtually constant throughout gestation. However, the ratios of total lung circumference to chest circumference and heart circumference to chest circumference increased significantly (p less than 0.001) with gestational age.
