ABSTRACT
Hysteroscopically guided biopsy was evaluated versus full curettage biopsy in 50 patients presented with perimenopausal bleeding. The presenting symptom was metrorrhagia in 58%, menometrorrhagia in 24% and menorrhagia in 18% of cases. Two specimens of the hysteroscopic directed biopsies were unfit for histopathologic examination Endometrial hyperplasia was diagnosed in 66% of the hysteroscopic biopsies and 74% of the full curettage biopsies. The overall diagnostic efficacy of hysteroscopic biopsy in diagnosing endometrial pathology was 84% for simple endometrial hyperplasia 92% for cystic endome trial hyperplasia, 96% for regressive hyperplasia, and 88% for proliferative endometrium. There was an agreement between the two procedures in 76% of cases. Hysteroscopy revealed more informations in 24% of cases
