Original Article: PDF OnlyClinical Significance of an Enlarged Uterus in Patients With Postmenopausal BleedingMIYAZAWA, KUNIO MDAuthor Information From the Gynecologic Oncology Service, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Tripler Army Medical Center, Honolulu, Hawaii Obstetrics & Gynecology: February 1983 - Volume 61 - Issue 2 - p 148-152 Free Abstract Postmenopausal bleeding as it relates to uterine malignancy has received much public and professional attention. Clinical practice suggests that an enlarged uterus encountered during evaluation of postmenopausal bleeding is frequently associated with abnormal endometrial histopathology. One hundred thirty-eight patients with postmenopausal bleeding who underwent a fractional dilatation and curettage were studied retrospectively to evaluate this relationship. In addition to various clinical information obtained, it was determined that postmenopausal bleeding and an enlarged uterus have a statistically significant correlation with advanced endometrial pathology. © 1983 The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
