Placental polyp is retained placental tissue within the endometrial cavity, which forms a nidus for inflammation and bleeding. There are very few reported cases of the clinical placental polyp. Here, we report a case of 34-year-old G4L3Ab1 woman with the chief complaint of intermittent vaginal bleeding since her last normal vaginal delivery 3 months ago. Serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)...

The aim of the study was to determine the frequency and pathohistological features of endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma in premenopausal and postmenopausal patients with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). The frequency and pathohistological features of endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma were investigated in 961 patients with AUB who underwent dilatation and curettage (D&C) between January ...

OBJECTIVE To describe the endometrial pathologic lesions in premenopausal breast cancer patients with a history of tamoxifen (TMX) use. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 120 premenopausal breast cancer patients with a history of TMX use that had undergone a gynecological examination. RESULTS Among 120 patients, 44.2% (n=53) were asymptomatic with an endometrial thic...

background: transvaginal ultrasound is one of the most common means to examine endometrial cavity lesions although its negative results are more valuable. saline sonohysterography can reduce the number of false negative rates of endometrial lesions diagnoses in tamoxifen consumers. the objective of this study was to determine the diagnostic values of saline infusion sonohysterography (sis) and ...

Tuberculosis can cause infertility when it infects the genital tract (e.g., endometritis). A 31-year-old woman (origin: Algeria) was referred to our academic gynecological institute for unexplained primary infertility. The patient presented with no complaint. Hysteroscopy showed a 10 mm sized endometrial polyp. The polyp was removed. Pathology showed lymphocytic and plasmacytic chronic inflamma...

PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of sonographic endometrial thickness and hysteroscopic characteristics in predicting malignancy in postmenopausal women undergoing surgical resection of endometrial polyps. METHODS Five hundred twenty-one (521) postmenopausal women undergoing hysteroscopic resection of endometrial polyps between January 1998 and December 2008 were studied. For each value of so...

The objective of this study is to determine and discuss the causes of a giant endometrial polyp in a postmenopausal woman without hormone/drug use and to submit interesting clinical presentation. Here we report a seventy-year-old female patient who was admitted to our hospital with lower back pain. There were no other complaints from her. Physical examination was normal. For further examination...

INTRODUCTION Endometrial polyps are a common focal endometrial pathology, with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) as a predominant symptom. Although the great majority of cases are benign, premalignancy or malignancy may develop within the polyp. The need for chronic immunosuppressive therapy in solid organ transplanted patients is associated with a significantly increased risk of malignant lesion...

Aim: Abnormal uterine bleeding refers to any uterine bleeding that occurs in excessive amounts of regular menstrual bleeding or any postmenopausal bleeding. The present study aims to determine histopathological findings in Turkish women with abnormal uterine bleeding in Elazığ. Material and Methods: Retrospectively 420 women with abnormal uterine bleeding were included in the study. Hematoxylin...

BACKGROUND Abnormal uterine bleeding is a common presentation of uterine abnormalities among premenopausal and postmenopausal women. OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of saline contrast sonohysterography and hysteroscopy for detecting the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 65 women with abnormal uterine bleeding were enrolled in this...
