Surgeries for abnormalities in endometrial surveillance

Patient (no) Age Indication endometrial sampling Mutation Endometrial thickness (ET) (TVU) Method Surgery Pathology
1 45 Routine MSH6 4 Microcurettage → endometrial carcinoma → BSO and hysterectomy Complex hyperplasia with atypia
2 55 ET > 4 mm at TVU MLH1 8 Microcurettage → complex hyperplasia with atypical signs → BSO and hysterectomy Moderately differentiated endometroid adenocarcinoma; stage IC
3 52 Irregular bleedings at first visit (prevalent case) MSH2 Endometrium not visible Curettage → poorly differentiated endometroid adenocarcinoma → BSO and hysterectomy Moderate adenocarcinoma; stage IIIC
4 46 Routine MLH1 3.5 Microcurettage → complex hyperplasia with atypia → BSO and hysterectomy Complex hyperplasia with atypia
5 48 ET > 4 mm at TVU MLH1 4.8 Microcurettage (failed) hysteroscopy with biopsy → complex hyperplasia with atypia → BSO with hysterectomy Simple hyperplasia with atypia
6 56 Routine MLH1 Unknown Microcurettage → complex hyperplasia with atypia → Hysterectomy (BSO in history because of cyst) Complex hyperplasia with atypia
7 51 Routine MSH6 4 Microcurettage (failed) hysteroscopy with biopsy → complex hyperplasia with atypia → BSO with hysterectomy Moderately differentiated endometroid adenocarcinoma; stage 1B1
