Abstract

Background: Correlation between endometrial histopathology, ultrasound findings and clinical symptoms in patient of abnormal uterine bleeding. Aim: To study the histopathology report of endometrial tissue in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding who all underwent dilatation and evacuation. Objectives: (a) To compare the histopathology report with the ultrasonography findings and clinical symptoms. (b)To categorize Patients into benign and malignant disease. Settings and design: This observational study was carried out in a tertiary health care center of Pune. Materials and method: A retrospective observational study was conducted in 30 women having abnormal uterine bleeding, who presented to the department of obstetrics and gynecology, Bharati Vidyapeeth deemed university, Pune between Jan 2021 to October 2021. Histopathology reports were traced for all the patients who underwent dilatation and curettage. The relevant clinical symptoms were noted. Patients were categorized into benign and malignant disease based on their histopathology report and ultrasonography findings. Results: In this study, 6.6% of cases were confirmed to be of endometrial carcinoma. The maximum score of 16 in ultrasound was suggestive of malignancy.
