  • heterogenous
  • hematometra
  • enlarged uterus
31
Q

why is a biopsy needed with endometrial carcinoma?

A

to differentiate between hyperplasia and carcinoma

32
Q

what is an endometrial polyp?

A
  • benign focal overgrowth of endometrial glands and stroma
33
Q

size of endometrial polyp?

A

variable- some are 1mm, others fill endometrial canal

34
Q

where might an endometrial polyp extend to?

38
Q

what is tamoxifen?

A
  • drug administered to women with brest cancer to block estrogenic effects on breat tissue
39
Q

what can tamoxifen cause and why?

43
Q

what does retained product of conception (RPOC) typically contain?

A
