Dr. Neethu G. V, Dr. Jayashree G. Pawar

Abstract :

Introduction: Endometrial metaplasias comprise a morphologically heterogeneous group of proliferations and differentiations found in eutopic and ectopic endometrium involving epithelium and stroma. The aim of the present study was 1. To study the pattern and relative incidence of endometrial metaplastic lesions and reactive changes. 2. To study their association with different lesions in female genital tract. Methodology: Endometrial curettings were processed as such. Fixation was done in 10% buffered formol saline. After tissue processing multiple 4–5mm thick paraffin sections were stained with Haematoxylin and eosin. Microscopic features were analyzed. Results: Among 63 cases which showed endometrial metaplasias ciliated metaplasia was the commonest with 33 cases (52.38%), common age group was 40–49 yrs (46.02%). Conclusion: In the present study ciliated metaplasia was the commonest and most commonly associated with simple endometrial hyperplasia. Hence hormonal stimuli are the main inducing factors for metaplasias.
