[Endometrial hyperplasia--hysteroscopy findings]

Endometrial hyperplasia is considered to be a frequent cause of metrorrhagia. Traditionally diagnosis of this pathology was made on specimens obtained by uterine curettage or after hysterectomy performed for benign diseases. Recently, hysteroscopy has enabled to offer suggestive images of this pathology, in fact it allows to visualize directly the uterine cavity and to perform guided biopsies on the endometrial mucosa. The aim of this study is to evaluate the reliability of the hysteroscopy procedures in the diagnosis of the endometrial hyperplasia. 479 panoramic hysteroscopies were performed in a four-year period for different indications and we found endometrial hyperplasia in 129 patients. We compared the results with the histological findings. On the base be able the possible diagnose and the follow-up procedure for endometrial hyperplasia.
