This one-year histopathological database analysis examined hysterectomy specimens from Patan Hospital (2011/12), recording patient age and histopathological diagnoses across a total set of 3576 received samples, including 261 gynecology samples that were hysterectomies. Leiomyoma accounted for 48.6% of hysterectomy cases, adenomyosis was reported in 10.3% (27 cases), and endometrioid adenocarcinoma occurred in 1.14% (3 cases). The paper notes that a large number of hysterectomy specimens had no significant findings, which limits how much the dataset explains abnormal bleeding etiologies in general. This paper is centrally about endometriosis or adenomyosis — it reports the distribution of adenomyosis in hysterectomy specimens by frequency.

Abstract

Backgound: The uterus is prone to develop several non-neoplastic and neoplastic conditions during the life time of a woman. The aim of this study is to study the histopathological features of varied uterine lesions, their profile and distribution of different lesions in relation of age.Materials and Methods: This is a histopathological database analysis of hysterectomy specimen of one year 2011/12 in Patan Hospital. The variables studied were age and histopathological diagnosis. SPSS version 16 was used as an analytical tool.Results: A total of 3576 histopathology samples were received in this period. There were 1173 gynaecology samples during this period out of which 22% (261 cases) were that of hysterectomy. Histopathology diagnosis showed Leiomyoma in 48.6% (127 cases), Adenomyosis was seen in 10.3% (27 cases), Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma was seen in 1.14% (3 cases).Conclusion: A large number of hysterectomy specimens had no significant findings. However, adenomyosis, leiomyomya and adenocarcinoma are also found which may be the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding.

Materials and methods

This is a histopathological database analysis of hysterectomy specimen of one year 2011/12 in Patan Hospital. The variables studied were age and histopathological diagnosis. SPSS version 16 was used as an analytical tool.

Results

A total of 3576 histopathology samples were received in this period. There were 1173 gynaecology samples during this period out of which 22% (261 cases) were that of hysterectomy. Histopathology diagnosis showed Leiomyoma in 48.6% (127 cases), Adenomyosis was seen in 10.3% (27 cases), Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma was seen in 1.14% (3 cases).

Conclusion

A large number of hysterectomy specimens had no significant findings. However, adenomyosis, leiomyomya and adenocarcinoma are also found which may be the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding.
