in postmenopausal women

28
Q

what is the most common clinical presentation of endometrial adenocarcinoma?

A

postmenopausal bleeding

29
Q

risk factors of endometrial adenocarcinoma? (5)

A
  • endometrium >4mm in postmenopausal women
  • 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?

A
  • cervix or vagina
35
Q

who are endometrial polyps most prevenlent in?

- postmenopausal

36
Q

what can polyps cause? (4)

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?

A

can stimulate cell gorwth and proliferation in endometrial tissue, enhanching the risk of:

  • carcinoma
  • hyperplasia
  • polyps
40

- may have bright echoes in endometrial cavity

43
Q

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

A
  • placental tissue

- can persist for months causing abnormal utererine bleeding

  • enlarged uterus- typically returns to normal size and shape within 6-8 weeks after delivary
45
Q

immediate postpartum findings of RPOC?

A
  • Residual fluid and echogenic material

- hemorrhage within the endometrial cavity

46
Q

How to rule out RPOC?

A
  • evaluate endometrial cavity for focal echogenic mass and asses endometrial thickness
47
Q

if endometrial thickness is less than ___mm, RPOC is unlikely

A

10mm

48

- blood clots

50
Q
A

RPOC

51
