Histopathological evaluation of the endometrial samples play an important role in the diagnosis of abnormal uterine bleeding. The present study was carried out to determine the histopathological pattern of the endometrium in women of various age groups presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding. A total of 250 endometrial biopsies and curettings were analyzed. The age of the patients ranged from 18 to 60 years. Normal cyclical endometrium was seen in 115 (46%) cases, followed by 65 (26%) cases of disordered proliferative endometrium and 60 (24%) cases of hyperplasia. Malignancy was seen in 10 (4% ) cases. Hyperplasia and malignancy were more common in the perimenopausal and postmenopausal age groups Endometrial evaluation is specially recommended in women of perimenopausal and postmenopausal age groups presenting with AUB, to rule out a possibility of any preneoplastic condition or malignancy
