| Abstract: | Dilatation and curettage was performed under anesthesia in outpatients in 1837 patients aged over 26 with a history of abnormal uterine bleeding not associated with pregnancy or ovulation. Fifty-one (2.8%) patients were found to have malignant disease. Of these, 47 patients had endometrial carcinoma. An additional 111 (6.0%) patients were found to have endometrial hyperplasia. The incidence of either malignant disease or endometrial hyperplasia was 9.7% in patients over the age of 40. Complications of this method were noted in 12 (0.7%) patients; only three patients needed to stay in hospital. Received: 1 February 2000 / Accepted: 19 May 2000 |
