RESUMEN

Objetivos:

Se describen los hallazgos histeroscópicos en las pacientes posmenopáusicas. Se analizan las características epidemiológicas de pacientes con adenocarcinoma de endometrio. Material y

métodos:

Estudio retrospectivo descriptivo de las histeroscopias diagnósticas realizadas en nuestro servicio a 451 pacientes posmenopáusicas entre el 1 de enero de 2008 y el 30 de junio de 2012 en el Complexo Hospitalario Universitario de Ourense (CHUO).

Resultados:

Edad media de 64,8 ± 8,9 años, la mayoría multíparas (82,7%) y con enfermedad concomitante más frecuente la hipertensión arterial (37,3%), dislipidemia (20%) y obesidad (12,6%). El 45,7% habían presentado sangrado genital. La indicación más frecuente fue la sospecha ecográfica de pólipo endometrial. Presentaron dolor intenso durante la técnica el 14,4% de las pacientes. La concordancia entre la sospecha ecográfica de enfermedad intracavitaria e histeroscopia diagnóstica fue del 66,3% para los pólipos endometriales. La concordancia entre histeroscopia e histología para el carcinoma endometrial fue del 87,5%. En las situaciones en las que se indicó la prueba por endometrio engrosado mayor a 5 mm se encontró enfermedad endometrial e intracavitaria en el 66,7% de los casos. Se diagnosticó un 5,3% de pacientes con adenocarcinoma de endometrio, con sangrado posmenopáusico, un 62,5%.

Conclusiones:

No existen diferencias en relación con los hallazgos y diagnósticos histológicos entre mujeres sintomáticas y asintomáticas, aunque la enfermedad maligna se presenta con mayor frecuencia en pacientes con sangrado. Cabe destacar la buena concordancia entre la histeroscopia y el diagnóstico histológico en el carcinoma de endometrio, pólipos endometriales y endometrios normales
ABSTRACT

Objectives:

To describe hysteroscopic findings in postmenopausal patients and to analyze epidemiologic characteristics in patients with endometrial adenocarcinoma. Materials and

methods:

A retrospective descriptive study was carried out in the 451 postmenopausal women who underwent a diagnostic hysteroscopy in our unit between the 1st January 2008 and 30th June 2012.

Results:

The mean age was 64.8 ± 8.9 years, 82.7% of the women were multiparous, and the most frequent concomitant diseases were hypertension (37.3%), dyslipidemia (20%) and obesity (12.6%). A total of 45.7% of the women reported abnormal uterine bleeding. The most frequent indication for hysteroscopy was sonographic detection of endometrial polyps. Intense pain during the procedure was reported by 14.4% of the patients. The correlation between ultrasound and hysteroscopy was 66.3% for polyps and the correlation between hysteroscopic and histopathologic diagnosis was 87.5% for endometrial carcinoma. Endometrial and intracavitary disease was detected in 66.7% of the patients with endometrial thickness > 5 mm on ultrasound. Endometrial carcinoma was diagnosed in 5.3% of the patients; of these, 62.5% reported abnormal uterine bleeding.

Conclusions:

There were no differences between hysteroscopic findings and histologic results in symptomatic and asymptomatic women. Malignant disease was more frequent in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding. There was a good correlation between hysteroscopic visual inspection and pathologic diagnosis in endometrial carcinoma, polyps and normal endometrium
