“…14 Majority of endometrium specimens in our study were of the menstrual phases -PE and SE in 134 cases [42.8%], same was reported by Spencer and Jetly. 15,16 Proliferative Endometrium [PE] was dominant, 96 cases [30.6%] same as reported by Dangla G. 17 The Secretory endometrium cases were 38 [12.3%] in our study, whereas Patil et al reported a incidence of 16.11%. 18 Sadia Khan reported, proliferative phase was most common histological pattern followed by secretory phase.…”

BACKGROUNDIn the peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women, 70% of the gynaecological problems are due to AUB. In the United States, 11% of the hysterectomies are performed for AUB per year. During climacteric, ovarian activity declines leading to anovulation or irregular maturation of follicles. Therefore, the menstrual cycles are often anovulatory and irregular leading to AUB. Prolonged anovulatory periods with unopposed oestrogen stimulation lead to endometrial hyperplasia. This increases the risk of endometrial cancers. Over a decade the progression of endometrial hyperplasia to carcinoma is as follows: Simple hyperplasia -1%, Complex hyperplasia -3%, Simple hyperplasia with atypia -8% and Complex hyperplasia with atypia 29% [Jeffcoate].

Background: Histopathological evaluation of endometrial samples is essential in the workup of abnormal uterine bleeding. This study was carried out to evaluate patterns of endometrial histological findings in women with abnormal uterine bleeding and to correlate histopathological findings with clinical features. Materials and Methods:One hundred and twenty two patients with diagnosis of abnormal uterine bleeding underwent endometrial sampling. The slides stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin stain were studied. Results:The predominant endometrial histopathological finding was proliferative endometrium 32 cases (26.23%) followed by simple hyperplasia without atypia 22 cases (18.03%). Malignant lesions were more common in patients more than 40 years of age and comprised of 7 cases (5.74%) of all cases. Atrophic endometrium was most common finding in postmenopausal bleeding 8 cases (28.6%) followed by endometrial carcinoma 5 cases (17.9%). Conclusion:Histopathological examination of endometrium should be done generously in women presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding especially after the age of 40 years to rule out malignant pathology.
