Overview

Ultrasound

  • Pelvic ultrasound on days 5 to 10 of menstrual cycle reduce the variability in endometrial thickness and may be helpful in the diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia.
  • The ultrasound appearance can be non-specific and may not be reliable to differentiate between hyperplasia and carcinoma.[1]
  • The pelvic ultrasound shows a homogeneous increase in the endometrial thickness. However, endometrial hyperplasia may also cause asymmetric or focal thickening with surface irregularity which should raise a suspicion for carcinoma.
  • On pelvic ultrasound, endometrial hyperplasia is characterized by:

Premenopausal

  • An endometrial thickness of >15 mm is considered above normal during the secretory phase of menstrual cycle

Postmenopausal

  • An endometrial thickness of >5 mm is considered abnormal
