Endometrium

  • Chapter
Pathologie

Zusammenfassung

In allen entwickelten Ländern nimmt die Häufigkeit des Endometriumkarzinoms bei peri- und postmenopausalen Frauen zu, weshalb in manchen Ländern, so in Japan, über gezielte Vorsorgeuntersuchungen nachgedacht wird [38]. In der Bildgebung ist die Standarduntersuchungen zur Beurteilung des Endometriums die Sonographie. Zur Probengewinnung erfolgt in der Regel eine Abrasio; besteht klinisch bereits Verdacht auf ein Karzinom des Endometriums, erfolgt eine Hysteroskopie vor der fraktionierten Abrasio.
