ABSTRACT: Summary: Estimate the incidence of endometrial hyperplasia according to
socio-demographic parameters and the type of lesions histological. Methodology: 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 hyperplasia 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. Metrorrhagia 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
lesions 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.
