Clinical and histopathological analysis of 1694 cases diagnosed with endometrial polyps based on endometrial sampling . Annals of Medical Researchhttps://hdl.handle.net/11616/53977Aim: All the patients presented to gynecology polyclinics with abnormal uterine bleeding either during the reproductive or the peri/ postmenopausal period underwent endometrial sampling to exclude endometrial pathologies. One endometrial pathology frequently encountered in the histopathological examination of these samples is Endometrial Polyp (EP); and it is important that they are recognized as they require a distinct treatment plan and can be associated with endometrial malignancies. Material and Methods: In this study, we investigated the demographic and clinical findings and concomitant malignancies of the cases diagnosed with endometrial polyps based on endometrial biopsy samples at Bezmialem Vakif University over a period of 7 years and compared our results with those in the literature. Results: Our study determined an EP prevalence of 19% and only 11 (0.65%) of the 1694 cases were found to have “adenocarcinomas” within/outside the polyp. Conclusion: Considering that EPs may be associated with malignancies, histopathological examination must absolutely be performed with adequate sampling.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle
