Overview
History
- A detailed drug history may be helpful in the assessment of possible risk factors for endometrial hyperplasia.
- Inappropriate hormone replacement therapy in post menopausal women (with insufficient progesterone component)[1][2]
- History of tamoxifen use[3]
- Tamoxifen is a non-steroidal anti-estrogen that binds to the estrogen receptor and is used primarily for adjuvant therapy in breast cancer
- Tamoxifen may also act as an estrogen agonist in a low estradiol environment
- Up to 50% of breast cancer patients who are treated with tamoxifen may develop an endometrial lesion within 6-36 months
- Any patient who develops bleeding while on tamoxifen needs evaluation
Symptoms
- The majority of patients with endometrial hyperplasia present with abnormal uterine bleeding.[4]
- Any postmenopausal bleeding should raise a suspicion for malignancy.
