Most women (90%) with endometrial cancer develop symptomatic vaginal bleeding or discharge, and this is often what prompts them to seek gynecologic care [1]. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends endometrial tissue sampling in any woman with abnormal uterine bleeding who is older than 45 years, or in younger patients who have failed medical management, have p...

Objective: To evaluate the reliability and accuracy of frozen section (FS) compared with final pathology and to determine whether they should be obligatory in every patient with atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH). Methods: We retrospectively assessed the medical records of 192 patients whose endometrial biopsy results were endometrial hyperplasia and underwent hysterectomy at our center. Re...

Metastasis to bone or synovial tissue in the distal extremity is a rare event for endometrial carcinoma. This case report involves a 76-year-old female with stage II endometrial cancer who developed persistent ankle pain after a transabdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Plain films were initially negative. An MRI several weeks later demonstrated an abnormality in the syno...

BACKGROUND The latest studies reported that local endometrial injury is a useful method to improve the success of IVF-ICSI outcome. OBJECTIVE To assess whether local endometrial injury occurred by Pipelle in the spontaneous cycle could improve implantation rate, cleavage rate, and pregnancy outcome in the subsequent IVF-ICSI cycle in patients who had recurrent IVF failure. MATERIALS AND MET...

Appendiceal mucocele is a rare clinical entity, which is however quite often associated with mucinous ovarian tumor. The coexistence of mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix and endometrial adenocarcinoma has not been reported before. A 49-year-old woman presented to our clinic with postmenopausal bleeding and no other symptom. Endometrial biopsy revealed endometrial adenocarcinoma of endometrio...

The incidence of cancer from adenomyosis is rare. Previously, only two cases of clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) arising from adenomyosis have been reported in English literature. Here, we report a case of CCA arising from adenomyosis. A 52-year-old postmenopausal Korean woman presented with complaints of vaginal bleeding and back pain. Endometrial biopsy revealed endometrial polyp with atrophic...

The clinical approach to postmenopausal bleeding requires prompt and efficient evaluation to exclude or diagnose carcinoma. Women with postmenopausal bleeding may be assessed initially with either endometrial biopsy or transvaginal ultrasonography;this initial evaluation does not require performance of both tests.Transvaginal ultrasonography can be useful in the triage of patients in whom endom...

Genital TB, an extrapulmonary form, is not uncommon particularly in areas where pulmonary TB is prevalent. Genital TB may be asymptomatic or may even masquerade as other gynaecological conditions; hence, diagnosis requires a high degree of suspicion...

Background: Female genital tuberculosis (FGTB) is known to cause severe tubal disease leading infertility and its incidence closely parallels with the overall prevalence of (TB) in a community. Objectives study: To study endometrial among subjects undergoing biopsy. Materials Methods: Demographic data regarding age, Socioeconomic status based on Modified Kuppuswamy scale, menstrual pattern, typ...
