Endometriun Flashcards
(36 cards)
Endometrial hyperplasia
Either drugs or anovulatory
- menopause
- ERT (relieve menopause symptoms)
- PCOS/granulosa cell tumor
- obesity
1% of simple hyperplasia progress to
Adeno ca
Cystic hyperplasia occurs in
Hyperplastic endometrium
Menopause or postmenopause
Complex hyperplasia vs simple
Simple - crowding
Complex - crowding and branching
Complex hyperplasia to adenoCA
3%
Complex hyperplasia is a variant of
Adenomatous hyperplasia with mod to severe architectural atypia
Commonly progress to adenoCA
Complex hyperplasia
Cytologic atypia
- Large nuclei of varied size and shape
- increase N:C ratio
- Prominent nucleoli
- irreg clumped chromatin
Premalignant
Atypical hyperplasia (complex)
Vaginal discharge
Abd pain
Intermenstrual bleeding
HMB
Endo hyperplasia
Percent endo hyperplasia to endoCA
1.6%
Mgmt of endo hyperplasia
Hysterectomy
Atypical hyperplasia versus carcinoma
No invasion of connective tissue
Atypical hyperplasia to CA
22%
Risk of progression to endo CA
Simple 1% 8% Complex 3% 6% 29% adenomatous 9%
Diagnosis of endo hyperplasia
Fractional curettage
- choice
- endocervix and endometrium
- 30 and above
Endo sampling, brushing, biopsy or vacuum curettage
- 74-97% accurate for endo CA
- 32-70% endo hyperplasia
Pap smear endo CA accuracy
<50%
Endo hyperplasia
Young women desiring fertility
3-6 mos progestin therapy oral or IUD then repeat sampling
Peri and postmenopausal who have hyperplasia w/o atypia
3-6 mos progestin then repeat sampling
Complex atypical hyperplasia treatment
Hysterectomy
Postmenopausal bleeding or irregular menses
Endo CA
Median age endo CA
Range
61
50-59
Risk factors for endo CA

Auto dominant
Endo CA is 2nd most common
