Over the last two decades, ultrasound evaluation of the endometrium and uterine cavity evolved from 2D grayscale evaluation of the endometrial thickness to a much more comprehensive examination including colour imaging, fluid instillation and 3D ultrasound. The International Endometrial Tumor Analysis (IETA) group recently published a consensus opinion paper on terms, definitions and measuremen...

BACKGROUND Management of endometrial precancerous lesions has been of much debate due to inconsistencies in their classification, natural history and histologic diagnosis. Endometrial hyperplasia constitutes a wide range of histomorphologic features associated with high intra and interobserver diagnostic variability.Although traditional microscopic diagnosis is by far the most applicable method...

OBJECTIVES Endometrial cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women. The prevention has failed so far to develop an effective screening program and its incidence is rising in proportion to the incidence of cervical cancer. In recent years the investigation of malignancy genomics (genetic and epigenetic changes) has become the main focus of scientists because of its high sensitivity an...

Background: Endometrial curettage is one of the commonest invasive gynecological procedure in reproductive as well as post reproductive age in abnormal uterine bleeding. Objective: To determine the histological types of endometrial lesions in curettage specimens, of women having abnormal uterine bleeding. Methodology: This descriptive study was conducted in Bannu Medical st st College from 1 Ma...

background: the term dysfunctional uterine bleeding(dub) refers to any abnormal bleeding from the uterus, unassociated with tumour, inflammation and pregnancy. the histological diagnosis of dub is very essential for adequate management especially in perimenopausal and postmenopausal females. the present study was undertaken with the aim of evaluating dub in various age groups, carry out histopa...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to develop a new reporting format for endometrial cytology that would standardize the diagnostic criteria and the terminology used for reporting. METHODS In previous studies, cytoarchitectural criteria were found to be useful for the cytological assessment of endometrial lesions. To apply these criteria, an appropriate cytological specimen is imperative. In...

BACKGROUND Endometrial brush cytology is a widely accepted method for the detection of endometrial lesions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of cytological sampling using Uterobrush in the screening of endometrial pathology. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a prospective double-blind study evaluating the efficacy of the Uterobrush method (Cooper Surgical, Trumbull, USA) in the detec...

Endometrial curettings from 458 patients presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding were studied. This included 220 (48%) patients with metrorrhagia, 187 (41%) with menorrhagia, 30 (6%) with postmenopausal bleeding, 13 (3%) with intermenstrual bleeding and 8 (1.74%) with polymenorrhagia. The histological findings were correlated with the pattern of abnormal bleeding in five different age groups....
