INTRODUCTION: Endometrial carcinoma is a common malignancy in females. The frequent subtype of endometroid carcinoma is often preceded histologically by evident precursor lesions like endometrial hyperplasia.

MATERIALS & METHODS: This study was carried out in our department, Sree Balaji Medical College & Hospital from Jan 2017–Dec 2017.  Data of 48 cases, diagnosed with endometrial hyperplasia were retrieved. The samples were processed routinely and stained with H&E.

RESULTS: A retrospective study of 48 patients with endometrial hyperplasia, revealed peak incidence in the age group of 40–50 yrs constituting ~48% of cases.

CONCLUSION:  Accurate recognition of these precursors can predict an impending endometrial carcinoma and hence treatment can be planned accordingly.
