-
What are the Major causes of abnormal bleeding in?
Adosescence?
Perimenopausal?
Post menopausal?
- Anovulatory phase
-Anovulatory phase, Irrecular chedding, organic lesions (carcinoma or hyperplasia or polyps_
- Organic lesions, Endometrial atrophy
-
DUB
This is a premenopausal term
-
When is anovulatory phase common? What is the cause?
What could it cause?
- •Most common at menarche & perimenopausal
- - might be due to prolonged estrogen stimulation, but as of now no obvious cuase
-may produce hyperplasia and cystic atrophy when complete ovarian atrophy
-
Inadequte corpus luteum. What is it do to?
Low progesterone--> early menses
-
What is endometritis?
What causes it?
What will it presend as clinically?
What will you see?
- Chronic Endometritis is inflamation of the endometrium.
- -Caused by: PID, IUD, Retained products of conception.
- -Symptons include: Bleeding, Pain and Infertility.
- -See PLASMA CELLS
-
![Image Upload 4](/flashcards/images/image_placeholder.png) What is going on here? What will you see?
- This is Chronic Endometritis.
- See Plasma cells
-
![Image Upload 6](/flashcards/images/image_placeholder.png) What is this? What might this patient get as a result?
This is IUD with Actinomycies infection. See Sulfur granules. Could cause Chronic Endometritis.
-
What is Adenomyosis?
is it functional tissue?
–Endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium

Endometrial Polyps
What can they cause?
What is its reaction to estrogen?
What do you see histologically?
- Common cause of uterine bleeding
- Anti estrogenic (tamoxifen)
–Disordered endometrial tissue with central thick walled vessels in stroma
-
![Image Upload 14](/flashcards/images/image_placeholder.png) What is seen here?
See a thick walled vessel. Associated with Endometrial polyp
-
What can endometrial Hyperplasia cause? In who?
What causes it?
Treat it?
It is a common cause of DUB in peri and postmenopausal women.
Condition of prolonged, unopposed estrogen stimulation
- Progesterone agents with follow up or hysterectomy
-
This is Endometrial Hyperplasia
-
Endometrial Intraepithelial Neoplasia (EIN)
What is it?
What mutation?
What do you see?
It is Atypical hyperplasia that is not reproducable
PTEN(tumor supressor) associated
Gland to stroma ration is increased
-
What is the most common malignancy of the female genital tract, bypassing cervical?
What ages?
Risk factors?
Endometrial Adenocarcinoma
Postmenopausal(55+) women with PID/DUB
Obesity, DM, hypertension, interfility, Nulliparity, late menopause
-
Endometrial Adenocarcinoma
What are the clinical finding?
Diagnosis?
see Uterine enlargement and Pelvic discomfort
EmBx
-
See increase in Gland to stroma ratio as you move from left to right
= EIN
-
What are the Types of Endometrial Adenocarcinoma? Which is most common?
Type 1: Endometriold (Most common 80%)
Type 2: Serous Carcinoma (clear cells carcinoma)
-
Endometrial Adenocarcinoma Type one:
Age? Histology?
Prog?
Perimenopausal Women
Squamus metaplasia my be present
Good Prognosis
-
Endometrial Adenocarcinoma Type 2:
Age?
Fact?
Prognosis?
Post menopausal women
Not associated with prolonged unopposed estrogen stimulation
Automatically a grade 3, More aggressive
-
Endometrial Adenocarcinoma types?
Morphology?
Genetics?
Behavior?
Precursors?
- Type 1:
- -Endometriod
- -PTEN & p53
- -Indolent (non aggressive)
- -EIN
- Type 2:
- -Serous,clear cell
- -p53
- -agressive
- -EIC
-
- Endometrial Adenocarcinoma type 1
- Endometrioid
-
![Image Upload 22](/flashcards/images/image_placeholder.png) This is a p53 stain
- Endometrial Adenocarcinoma type 2
- Serrpus type
-
What are the Endometrial Tumors with stromal elements?
Carcinosarcoma
Adenosarcoma
Pure stromal tumors
-
What is Carinosarcoma?
What are the two types?
Age? Prog?
- It is a tumor of unterine corpus of MIXED
- epithelial and mesenchymal cell origen.
- 1. Homologous
- 2.Heterologous
Seen in elderly patients, poor prognosis
-
![Image Upload 24](/flashcards/images/image_placeholder.png) What is this? what is another name for it?
This is a carniosarcoma
or Malignant mixed mullerian tumor
-
Endometrial Stromal Lesions
What are the two types?
- Adenosarcoma
- -Low grad
- - present as a polyp
