Histopathologic features and risk factors for benignity, hyperplasia, and cancer in endometrial polyps

Article Abstract:

About 70% of all uterine polyps are benign, according to a pathological examination of uterine polyps removed from 509 women. Less than one percent of the polyps were cancerous and the remainder had hyperplasia, a condition that may eventually become cancerous. Postmenopausal women with high blood pressure were more likely to have cancerous polyps than other women. About 25% of all women have uterine polyps and many have no symptoms.
