Abstract
Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is the bleeding pattern that differs in frequency, duration and amount from a pattern observed during a normal menstrual cycle or after menopause and is caused by a variety of disorders.
Materials and Methods: This is an observational study conducted at the department of Pathology at MGM Hospital, Navi Mumbai. A total number of 402 endometrial curettage specimens were obtained and studied over a period of 4 years from January 2013 till December 2016.
Objectives: The objective of our study was to evaluate the different histopathological patterns in the dilatation and curettage samples of females presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding.
Result and Conclusion: In our study, proliferative phase endometrium and hyperplasia without atypia were most common in the reproductive age group.
Keywords: abnormal uterine bleeding, endometrial hyperplasia, proliferative endometrium.
