Abstract :

Background: Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) is the most common presenting complaint in gynecology OPD and Endometrial biopsy could be effectively used as a first diagnostic step in this after ruling out medical causes. This study was done to evaluate histopathology of endometrium for identifying the endometrial causes of AUB, to study different endometrial lesions and to correlate endometrial pathology with respect to the age. Methods: This was a retrospective study of total 96 cases of endometrial biopsies over the period of 6 months from Jan –June 2019 received at Histopathology Department at Shri Kashibai Navale Medical college and Hospital, Narhe, Pune. Results: Out of 96 cases, majority of cases showed normal cyclical pattern followed by endometrial hyperplasia without atypia. Conclusion: Endometrial biopsy plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of AUB.
