Evaluation of endometrium for chronic endometritis by using syndecan-1 in abnormal uterine bleeding.

Context: Chronic endometritis is a condition observed in 3-10% of women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). Diagnosis depends upon the histological detection of plasma cells within the inflammatory infiltrate in the endometrium. Plasma cells on H and E may be obscured by a mononuclear infiltrate, plasmacytoid stromal cells, abundant stromal mitosis, a pronounced predecidual reaction, menstrual features or secondary changes due to exogenous progesterone treatment prior to biopsy.

Double uteri with cervicovaginal agenesis.

Objective: To report results of managing complex malformation of the genital tract and to validate a newer classification (vaginal, cervix, uterus, adnexa-associated malformation [VCUAM]) for describing such complex anomalies.

Design: Case report.

Setting: University hospital.
