ABSTRACT

ackground A retrospective study of 100 cases of hysterectomies was conducted in Dept. of Pathology, GovernmentMedical College, Patiala. Methods:Clinical and histopathological data were collected and correlation made. Maximum number of patients who underwent hysterectomy were in the age-group of 41-50 years. Results: The median age came out to be 47 yrs. Abnormal uterine bleeding was the most common complaint (82%). Main indication of hysterectomy was fibroid(63%) followed by prolapse (14%) and adenomyosis (12%). Histopathological correlations were made with the clinical findings. On histopathology, leiomyoma was the most common diagnosis followed by atrophic endometrium and adenomyosis. Conclusion: Correlation between clinical and histopathological diagnosis was very good. But still, histopathology remains the mainstay of establishing the confirmatory diagnosis and for histological subtyping of malignancies.
