TLDR
It is important to know the histological pattern of the endometrium in abnormal uterine bleeding in different age groups since it will help in the management of the cases, and studying the histopathological pattern is to help in correctly managing the cases.Abstract:
Background: Histological characteristics of endometrial biopsy material as assessed by light microscopy remain the diagnostic standard for the clinical diagnosis of endometrial pathology. Management of abnormal uterine bleeding is not complete without tissue diagnosis. The aim of the study was to find out the histopathological pattern of the endometrium in abnormal uterine bleeding. Materials and Methods: Endometrial biopsy specimens received from Jan 2007 to Nov 2010 were studied retrospectively in the Department of Histopathology, Helping Hands Community Hospital, Kathmandu. The specimens were routinely processed and the hematoxyllin and eosin stained slides were studied. Results: A total of 300 specimens were analyzed. In the group of patients less than 40 years of age, 73 (50%) were normal, 34(23%) had abnormal physiologic changes and 13 (9%) had pregnancy related complications and benign changes. In the age group between 40 – 55 years, abnormal physiological changes, benign conditions and normal physiological changes were 45 (32%), 41 (29%) and 37 (26%) respectively. In the age group > 55 years, there were 3(21%) malignant and 3(21%) benign conditions. There were 5(36%) unsatisfactory samples in this age group. Conclusion: It is important to know the histological pattern of the endometrium in abnormal uterine bleeding in different age groups since it will help in the management of the cases. In this study endometrial hyperplasias were seen in 55 cases (18.8%). The importance of studying the histological pattern of endometrium in abnormal uterine bleeding in different age group is to help in correctly managing the cases.

Clinco-Pathological Patterns in Women with Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding
TL;DR: DUB occurs secondary to a wide variety of functional and structural abnormalities, warranting a thorough evaluation especially in perimenoupausal females, and significant number of endometrial samples revealed pathology renderingendometrial curetting and biopsy an important procedure.

A two year histopathological study of endometrial biopsies in a teaching hospital in Northern India
TL;DR: The most common finding in patients of infertility was proliferative endometrium indicating anovulatory cycles, and Endometrial biopsy is a valuable tool in assessment of endometrial status in infertility, as well as benign and malignant pathology in abnormal uterine bleeding due to relative ease of procedure and rapid availability of results.

TL;DR: Endometrial biopsy specimens from 69 consecutive patients with clinically suspected acute pelvic inflammatory disease who underwent microbiological evaluation for UGTI and laparoscopically confirmed acute salpingitis were studied to define and quantitate histologic changes in the endometrium that best correlate with documented upper genital tract infection (UGTI).

TL;DR: It is concluded that the yield for neoplasia is so low that screening endometrial biopsy is not justified in asymptomatic perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.

TL;DR: The use of an internal standard for cytology assessment, combined with the distinctive topography of a clonal process, enables the diagnosis of EIN lesions with a long-term cancer risk 45-fold greater than that of their benign endometrial hyperplasia counterparts.
