  • Title: [Menorrhagia, metrorrhagia and the endometrium. Apropos of 300 cases].
    Author: Delarue T, Baty A, Foissey A.
    Journal: J Gynecol Obstet Biol Reprod (Paris); 1988; 17(1):57-64. PubMed ID: 3351206.
    Abstract:
    The authors report on the different aspects they have observed when they studied 300 case histories of patients who had a histological examination of the endometrium for menorrhagia or metrorrhagia. In 9.9% of the cases the endometrium was normal. In those cases there was an associated lesion particularly of the myometrium. Whatever the type of bleeding, the most common finding was hyperplasia. The authors emphasize that this can evolve to dysplasia (4% of their cases) and to carcinoma of the endometrium (3% of the cases).
