    Abstract:
    To evaluate clinical application of International Society of Gynecologic Pathologists Classification of endometrial hyperplasia 424 patients with endome trial hyperplasia were treated in our hospital from Sept. 1989 to Feb. 1995. Our of these cases, 339 were simple hyperplasia, 28 were complex hyperplasia and 57 atypical hyperplasia. We made an analysis of the cases of complex and atypical hyperplasia in terms of the ISGP classification. The total rate of curettage was 63.5%. The agreement rate for pathologic diagnoses before and after operation was 78%. Under the age of 40, 18 patients had atypical hyperplasia and 15 of them underwent hysterectomy. Eight patients had complex hyperplasia and 3 of them underwent hysterectomy. Above the age of 40, 39 patients had atypical hyperplasia and 30 of them had uterus removed. Twenty patients had complex hyperplasia and 12 of them had uterus removed. These suggest that the ISGP pathologic diagnostic method is good to avoid overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Yet, diagnostic curettage is still the best means in diagnosis before operation.
