Prediction of benign and malignant endometrial disease: hysterosonographic-pathologic correlation.

Purpose: To determine the transvaginal hysterosonographic appearances of benign and malignant endometrial disease.

Materials And Methods: From April 11, 1994, through August 1, 1996, a total of 88 women (age range, 25-81 years) underwent transvaginal hysterosonography and histopathologic evaluation of the endometrium after dilation and curettage or after hysterectomy. A benign appearance at transvaginal hysterosonography was defined as a thin endometrium, diffuse smooth endometrial thickening, or a smoothly marginated, homogeneously echogenic, pedunculated endoluminal mass.
