  ABSTRACT: Many authors have reported an epidemiologic relationship between endometrial polyps and endometriosis. The joining link could be an unopposed and unbalanced estrogenic milieu. The prevalence of both, endometrial polyps and endometriosis, is quite high among general population. The presence of endometrial polyps and endometriosis could affect infertile women. We performed a retrospective multicentric study, based on data collected from three Hospitals (S. Antonio Abate, Trapani, Civico-Ascoli, Palermo, and Cannizzaro, Catania). We analyzed 285 women undergoing diagnostic/office hysteroscopy. Clinical history demographic and hysteroscopic data were collected in the same sheet, containing within informed consent. On the base of our results no relationship exists between endometrial polyps and endometriosis nor cervical polyps. It’s the first time that none correlation is proved for the coexistence of endometrial polyps and endometriosis. Further research is needed.
