Abstract
The aim and objective of the study was to determine the pattern of endometrial lesions (endometrial
hyperplasia and endometrial carcinoma). A cross sectional study of results of 123 recorded diagnosed reports of patients
within our study years (Jan. 2005-Dec. 2012) was obtained from the departmental register. These were analysed using the
SPSS version 16 per each year. The results were represented in pie chart. It showed that the ages of 30-40 years were
most affected; closely followed by ages 40-50 and 20-30 years. Our findings show that early/frequent evaluation of the
endometrium from younger ladies of age range 30 years and above, especially those with antecedent family history in
most cases could help in early detection and management.
