ABSTRACT

Summary: Estimate the incidence of endometrial hyperplasia according to socio-demographic parameters and the type of lesions histological. Methodology: This was a retrospective, and 15-year descriptive study from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2014 conducted at the Department of Anatomy and Pathological Cytology of the National Hospital Donka in collaboration with the obstetric gynecology departments of the Conakry University Hospital. Results: We collected 296 cases of malignant and benign endometrial hyperplasia in 15 years, accounting for 37% of all endometrial biopsy curettages examined. The age group 47 to 56 years was the most affected (81 cases) or 27, 36%. The mean age was 53.6 years with extremes of 27 and 83 years. Metrorrhagia was the main reason for consultation (206 cases), i.e. 69.59%. The suspicion of endometrial hyperplasia by physicians was the most frequently diagnosed circumstance (149 cases) or 50.33%. Biopsy curettage was the most frequently used method (176 cases), is 59.45%. Histological endometrial lesions of atypical complex adenomatous hyperplasia (79 cases) represented 26.69%. Benign behavior was most frequently observed in (235 cases) or 79.39%. Conclusion: Endometrial hyperplasia is an endometrial lesion whose atypical histological types represent the borderline lesions between benignity and malignancy.
