Abstract
Post menopausal bleeding (PMB) as a major and serious alarming genital pathologies among post‐menopausal women. Histopathological evaluations of all PMB cases were necessary for the diagnosis of malignant endometrial lesions. This study was evaluates the Histopathological finding of postmenopausal bleeding cases to rule out the benign and malignant endometrial lesions. This cross sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Pathology with collaboration of department of gynecology. Total of 150 PMB patients were enrolled. The specimens were collected from the endometrial curetting and cervical biopsies. All specimens are processed and histopathological examination was done. Final diagnosis of the lesions was made on the basis of histopathological findings. Out of 150 post‐menopausal bleeding cases, Majority of them (38%) were 41‐50 years age group, mean age was 53.6 years. Cervical biopsy was most common biopsy received (42%). The maximum incidence (50%) of PMB was in grand multiparous patients (parity 4‐6). Benign cases were 52% and malignant cases were 39.3%. Among benign cases the most common cause was atrophic endometrium (36.7%). Among malignant cases, endometrial hyperplasia was the most common cause (11.3%). Proper and timely evaluation of postmenopausal bleeding by histopathological examination is crucial to rule out malignant endometrial lesions which save the patient’s life.
