Study of Morphological Patterns of Endometrial Lesions in Derna City – East of Libya

Abstract

The present work is carried out to study the prevalence of the different histo-pathological patterns of endometrial lesions diagnosed in Derna-City East of Libya in relation to other clinical data. This work included 80 cases of endometrial lesions, out of 208 samples submitted to TheNoor-AL-Huda Medical Center Pathology Laboratory in Derna City –East of Libya during the period between January 2021 and December 2021, specimens were formalin fixed, processed, then H &E sections were obtained for histologic diagnosis and subtyping. Out of the included 80 endometrial lesions (70%) were non –neoplastic and  (30%) were neoplastic. The mean age group was 41-50 years for non neoplastic lesions and 51-60 years for neoplastic lesions. Endometrial polyp represented 42.5% of the non neoplastic lesions, while endometrioid carcinoma (Villo-glandular pattern) represented 11.5% of the neoplastic lesions.  We concluded that non-neoplastic endometrial lesions were more common than neoplastic ones. Among non-neoplastic endometrial lesions endometrial polyps were the commenst, while endometrioid carcinoma (villo-glandular pattern) was the most common neoplastic lesion. Meticulous histopathological examination is essential for accurate diagnosis and proper management of endometrial lesions.
