Overview
Hysteroscopy may be helpful in the direct visualization of precancerous lesions.[1] Diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia is usually performed through curettage of the uterine cavity to obtain endometrial tissue for histopathologic analysis.[2]
Other Diagnostic Studies
Hysteroscopy
- Hysteroscopy may be helpful in the direct visualization of precancerous lesions.[1]
- A histopathology sample including any discrete lesions along with the surrounding normal endometrium may be helpful in the diagnosis of precancerous lesions.[1]
D&C
- Diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia is usually performed through curettage of the uterine cavity to obtain endometrial tissue for histopathologic analysis.[2]
