Endometrial hyperplasia is considered to be a frequent cause of metrorrhagia. Traditionally diagnosis of this pathology was made on specimens obtained by uterine curettage or after hysterectomy performed for benign diseases. Recently, hysteroscopy has enabled to offer suggestive images of this pathology, in fact it allows to visualize directly the uterine cavity and to perform guided biopsies on the endometrial mucosa. The aim of this study is to evaluate the reliability of the hysteroscopy procedures in the diagnosis of the endometrial hyperplasia. 479 panoramic hysteroscopies were performed in a four-year period for different indications and we found endometrial hyperplasia in 129 patients. We compared the results with the histological findings. On the base be able the possible diagnose and the follow-up procedure for endometrial hyperplasia.

Objective: The goal of this study was to evaluate safety after same-day discharge following minimally invasive hysterectomy for endometrial cancer and endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia in patients with and without morbid obesity (body mass index 40 kg/m). Our secondary objective was to identify barriers to same-day discharge.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing minimally invasive hysterectomy for endometrial cancer and endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia from January 2016 to May 2022.

Objective: Endometrial cancers can be classified into 4 molecular sub-groups: (1) POLE mutated (POLEmut), (2) mismatch repair deficiency/microsatellite-instable (MMRd/MSI-H), (3) TP53-mutant or p53 abnormal (p53abn), and (4) no specific mutational profile (NSMP). Although molecular classification is increasingly applied in oncology, its role in guiding fertility-sparing treatments for endometrial cancer remains unclear. This study examines the prognostic role of molecular classification in fertility-sparing treatment and its potential to guide treatment decisions.

Introduction: Musculocontractural Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (mcEDS) is a rare autosomal recessive connective tissue disorder caused by systemic depletion of dermatan sulfate. Symptoms characteristic of mcEDS include multiple contractures, fragile skin with subcutaneous bleeding, and hypermobile joints, which suggest difficulty in perioperative management. However, safe surgical techniques and perioperative management of this disorder remain unknown because of its rarity.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of occult endometrial carcinoma in patients with endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) post-hysterectomy and identify pre-hysterectomy risk factors predictive of occult carcinoma.

Methods: This retrospective study included patients diagnosed with EIN between 2007 and 2021 who underwent hysterectomy as primary treatment. An expert gynecologic pathologist reviewed pathological slides.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for fertility-sparing treatment in Lynch syndrome-associated endometrial cancer (LS-EC).

Methods: Four LS-EC cases received programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitors for fertility preservation at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from 2017 to 2023. The clinical data and long-term outcomes were retrospectively reviewed.
