Complex hyperplasia

62 yo patient with 2 month of cyclic bleeding q2wks. On Prempro 0.625/2.5 for six years and amenorrheic until two months ago. Sonogram showed a 4mm endometrial stripe, endometrial biopsy was negative. Hysteroscopic endometrial resection and ablation performed. The endometrium had patches of erythema - suggestive of chronic endometritis but not found on the pathology, no polyps, small cavity - 8cm uterus. Pathology showed features "suggestive of adenomyosis and a focus of complex hyperplasia w/o atypia." She is planning to stop the HRT.

Any other F/U suggested? If she bleeds again, I would recommend a hysterectomy. I feel she has been adequately treated with the resection and ablation, does anyone feel differently.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
