Abstract
Introduction: Endometrial hyperplasia is defined as an increase in the number of glands relative to stroma, appreciated as crowded glands, often with abnormal shapes. It is an important cause for abnormal uterine bleeding. It is divided into non -atypical and atypical based on nuclear atypia. Atypical hyperplasia is associated with increased risk of endometrial carcinoma.
Aims and Objectives: The present study was conducted to study the relative occurrence of endometrial hyperplasia and to evaluate the histopathological patterns of different types of endometrial hyperplasia.
Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study includes endometrial biopsy samples (13) and hysterectomy specimens (1) of abnormal uterine bleeding cases diagnosed as endometrial hyperplasia.
Results: Endometrial hyperplasia was observed in the age group of 31–40 years followed by that of 41–50 years. The most frequent clinical diagnosis was menorrhagia (HMB). The leading pathology was identified as simple endometrial hyperplasia without atypia.
Keywords: Abnormal uterine bleeding, Endometrial carcinoma, Gland architecture, Atypia.
