Spectrum of histomorphological pattern of endometrium in different age groups in abnormal uterine bleeding in a tertiary care centre of western Uttar Pradesh
Keywords:
abnormal uterine bleeding, spectrum histomorphological pattern, endometriumAbstract
Objectives:- The aim of the study was to find out the histomorphological pattern of endometrium in different age groups presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding. Methods :- This is a hospital based cross - sectional study which was performed on 569 cases (120 endometrial currettings and 449 hysterectomy specimens) received in department of pathology NCR Institute of Medical Sciences, Meerut during a period of two years (1st august 2020 to 31st july 2022). Specimens were fixed in 10% formol saline, routine processing was done and sections were stained with haematoxylin and eosin stain (H&E stain). Results were expressed as percentages and p value was calculated. Results:- The age range of these patients was from 25-75 years with mean age of 43 years. Majority of patients were in the perimenopausal age group.The most common pattern in reproductive age group was secretory phase (51.28%) whereas in perimenopausal females it was proliferative phase (68.04%) and in post menopausal females it was atrophic phase (84.85%). Precancerous lesions such as endometrial polyp and endometrial hyperplasia was dominant in perimenopausal age group. Conclusions:- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding is a common cause of morbidity amongst woman of all age groups.
