Endometriyum kanseri için risk faktörü olmayan premenopozal kadınlarda endometriyal biyopsinin önemi

Öz

Amaç: Anormal uterin kanaması olan kadınlarda endometrial biyopsi için uygun yaş tartışmalıdır. Bu çalışmada endometriyum kanser için risk faktörü olmayan ve menorajisi olan 40-49 yaş arası premenopozal kadınlarda endometriyal biyopsinin önemini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Gereçler ve Yöntem: 1 Ocak 2017-31 Ekim 2021 tarihleri arasında hastanemizin Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum kliniğinde diagnostik amaçlı endometrial biyopsi yapılan hastaların kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bu hastalardan endometrial biyopsi sonuçları olan menorajili 40-49 yaş arası premenopozal kadınlar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Risk faktörü olan hastalar çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya, menorajisi olan 176 premenopozal hasta dahil edildi. Risk faktörleri olmayan hastaların biyopsi sonuçlarında malignite saptanmadı. Toplam 6 olguda endometrial hiperplazi (EH) (%3.4) saptandı. EH saptanan olguların 1’i (%0.6) atipili hiperplazi, 5’i (%2.8) atipisiz hiperplazi olarak saptandı. Sonuç: Risk faktörleri olmayan ve menorajisi olan 40-49 yaş arası premenopozal kadınlarda neoplastik ve preneoplastik hastalık riskini minimal olarak tespit ettik. Bu hasta grubunda endometriyal biyopsi endikasyonları gözden geçirilmelidir.

Importance of endometrial biopsy in premenopausal women without risk factors for endometrial cancer

Öz

Objective: In women with abnormal uterine bleeding, the appropriate age for endometrial biopsy remains controversial. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the importance of endometrial biopsy in premenopausal women aged 40-49 years who presented with menorrhagia but did not have risk factors for endometrial cancer. Material And Methods: The records of patients who underwent endometrial biopsy for diagnostic purposes at the gynecology and obstetrics clinic of our hospital between January 1, 2017 and October 31, 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Among these patients, premenopausal women aged 40-49 years with menorrhagia who had endometrial biopsy results were included in the sample. Patients with risk factors were excluded from the study. Results: A total of 176 premenopausal patients with menorrhagia were included in the study. According to the biopsy results of these patients without risk factors, no malignancy was detected. Endometrial hyperplasia was present in six patients (3.4%), of whom (0.6%) had hyperplasia with atypia and five (2.8%) had hyperplasia without atypia. Conclusion: We found a minimal risk of neoplastic and preneoplastic disease in premenopausal women aged 40-49 years with menorrhagia but no risk factors for endometrial cancer. Endometrial biopsy indications should be reviewed in this patient group.
