Abstract
Summary: Estimate the incidence of endometrial hyperplasia according to
socio-demographic parameters and the type of lesions histological. Metho-
dology: This was a retrospective, and 15-year descriptive study from January
1, 2000 to December 31, 2014 conducted at the Department of Anatomy and
Pathological Cytology of the National Hospital Donka in collaboration with
the obstetric gynecology departments of the Conakry University Hospital.
Results: We collected 296 cases of malignant and benign endometrial hyper-
plasia in 15 years, accounting for 37% of all endometrial biopsy curettages
examined. The age group 47 to 56 years was the most affected (81 cases) or
27, 36%. The mean age was 53.6 years with extremes of 27 and 83 years. Me-
trorrhagia was the main reason for consultation (206 cases), i.e. 69.59%. The
suspicion of endometrial hyperplasia by physicians was the most frequently
diagnosed circumstance (149 cases) or 50.33%. Biopsy curettage was the most
frequently used method (176 cases), is 59.45%. Histological endometrial le-
sions of atypical complex adenomatous hyperplasia (79 cases) represented
26.69%. Benign behavior was most frequently observed in (235 cases) or
79.39%. Conclusion: Endometrial hyperplasia is an endometrial lesion whose
atypical histological types represent the borderline lesions between benignity
and malignancy.
