A Histopathological Study Of Endometrial Biopsies In Patients Of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding.

[摘要] A bleeding pattern that differs in amount, duration, and frequency from a normal menstrual cycleor postmenopause is referred to as abnormal uterine bleeding. This retrospective study was carried outover a one-year period from October 2021 to October 2022 in the department of pathology of a tertiarycare hospital in Central India. A total of 304 endometrial biopsies were received in this period. Out ofthese, 45 samples were inadequate for interpretation and were hence excluded from the study. Tissueswere preserved in 10% formalin, and 3-5 micrometre sections were mounted on the slides. Functionalendometrial changes, precursors of endometrial tumours, tumor-like lesions, gestational trophoblasticdisease, and endometrial carcinomas accounted for 60.22%, 5.8%, 3.86%, 1.54%, and 0.78%,respectively. The most common pathological cause of abnormal uterine bleeding was reported as"disordered proliferative phase" (16.21%), and 9.65% of these cases were in their perimenopausal agegroups. A tiny fraction of our study sample was diagnosed with endometrial carcinomas, which furtherencourages us as clinicians and pathologists alike to carefully screen patients and report precisely in timefor necessary interventions.
