Objective: To determine whether there is a significant association between the presence of polyps or polypoid endometrium on hysterosalpingogram (HSG) with the presence of pelvic or peritoneal endometriosis.
Design: Retrospective chart review.
Setting: Department of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the University of Vermont, College of Medicine.
Patients: One hundred twenty patients, all of whom had a HSG, hysteroscopy, and laparoscopy by a member of our department between 1989 and 1993.
Main Outcome Measure: Hysterosalpingograms were assessed for the presence of hypertrophic or polypoid endometrium. The presence of endometriosis was documented laparoscopically and scored according to The American Fertility Society classification and HSG findings were documented by hysteroscopy.
Results: Endometriosis was found in 27 of 32 women with polyps or polypoid endometrium but in only 19 of 88 women without. chi 2 analysis revealed a significant association between the demonstration of polyps or polypoid endometrium on HSG and the presence of endometriosis, chi 2(1) = 33.97. The predictive value of a positive test was 84% and the negative predictive value was 75%.
Conclusion: The presence of polyps or polypoid endometrium on HSG is significantly associated with the presence of pelvic or peritoneal endometriosis.

Extramedullary infiltration of acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (ALL) to genital organs is extremely rare. Here, we present a case report of an asymptomatic 49-year-old female, known case of precursor B-cell ALL, who was incidentally detected with thickened and heterogeneously hyperechoic endometrium on sonography. Contrast magnetic resonance imaging detected large polypoidal enhancing lesions showing intense diffusion restriction occupying the endometrial cavity and similar lesions in the left adnexa, left ovary, and fallopian tube which were suspicious for leukemic infiltration because of the clinical history and atypical appearance of the lesions.

Article Synopsis
- A retrospective study analyzed 206 patients who had hysteroscopic polypectomy to assess the impact of different types of background endometrium on the prognosis of endometrial polyps (EPs).
- The researchers classified the endometrial tissues into four categories: normal proliferative endometrium, polypoid hyperplastic endometrium, chronic endometritis, and non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia, using statistical analysis to identify risk factors associated with adverse outcomes.
- Key findings revealed that conditions like chronic endometritis and non-atypical hyperplasia were linked to higher rates of EP recurrence and poor management of abnormal uterine bleeding, indicating the relevance of endometrial pathology in treatment outcomes.
Endometrial Adenocarcinoma After a Benign Biopsy Without Atypia: A Case Report.

Article Synopsis
- Endometrial biopsy is a key tool for screening endometrial cancer, helping to rule it out before procedures like a hysterectomy.
- A 37-year-old woman with pelvic pain and irregular bleeding had a benign biopsy but was later diagnosed with grade 2 invasive endometrial adenocarcinoma after her total hysterectomy.
- The case highlights that, while benign hyperplasia without atypia has a low risk of developing into cancer, incidental malignant findings after surgery can have serious health implications.

Background: Endometrial cancer is a kind of well-known tumors of female genitourinary system. Cervical stromal invasion is an adverse factor for poor prognosis of endometrial cancer. There is still controversy regarding the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of cervical stromal invasion of endometrial cancer.
