[Endometrial polyps. A clinico-pathologic analysis]

A clinico-pathologic analysis of 92 cases of endometrial polyps was carried out and the endometrium adjacent to the polyps was studied in 69 cases. Most endometrial polyps occurred between 30-60 years of age, often accompanied by abnormal uterine bleeding. Immature endometrial polyp was the most common pathologic type (65.0%), usually associated to some extent with hyperplastic changes. Cystic glandular hyperplasia was observed in nearly half of the polyps obtained from postmenopausal patients. Different histologic pictures were found in the adjacent endometrial tissues, of which 59.4% showed normal changes.
