Overview
Endometrial hyperplasia must be differentiated from
Differential Diagnosis
- Endometrial hyperplasia must be differentiated from the following:[1]
- Early pregnancy prior to sac being visualized (<5 weeks of gestation)
- Ectopic pregnancy (thickened endometrium and sometimes fluid collection or pseudogestational sac can be associated)
- Retained products of conception (heterogeneously thickened endometrium with increased vascularity)
- Adherent intra-uterine blood clot (heterogeneous endometrium with no vascularity)
- Molar pregnancy thickened with multiple small cystic spaces
- Endometritis (prominent hyperechoic endometrium with of without fluid and debris)
- Endometrial carcinoma (variable appearance)
- Polycystic ovarian disease (usually uniformly hyperechoic and tends to be diffuse)
- Endometrial polyp or polyps (usually hyperechoic, often focal, look for vascular stalk)
- Tamoxifen related endometrial changes (variable appearances)
- Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in postmenopausal female
- Submucosal uterine fibroids
- Intrauterine adhesions (irregular echogenic areas with focal thickening)
- Estrogen secreting ovarian tumours
- Granulosa cell ovarian cancer
