Abstract
Identification of postmenopausal bleeding in community settings provide an opportunity to detect these women at early stages of cancers. Histopathology is the gold standard tool used for the evaluation of the causes of post‐menopausal bleed. The present study was carried out to determine the causes of postmenopausal bleeding and to differentiating various benign and malignant lesions based on histopathology findings. This cross sectional observational study was conducted in the department of pathology in a tertiary care center of India. A total of 200 cervical or endometrial biopsy samples were received in our histopathology section from post‐menopausal bleeding women. Histopathological examination was done and findings are recorded in the form of benign and malignant lesions from all the samples. The majority of the patients (36%) were reported in the age group of 46 50 years with an average age of 53.6 years. Cervix was the most common site of biopsy (43%) followed by endometrial curettage (30%). Most of the cases were benign (53%) and 37.5% were malignant lesions on the basis of histopathological diagnosis. Atrophic endometrium (35%) followed by Proliferative endometrium (20%) were the common among benign lesion whereas., endometrial hyperplasia with atypia (12.5%) and endometrial carcinoma (5.5%) were common among malignant lesions in PMB cases. Postmenopausal bleeding etiology was predominantly benign in nature, atrophic endometrium., proliferative endometrium and endometrial hyperplasia were the most common histopathological findings of PMB cases.
