Agree absolutely. An endometrial thickness of 8mm is too much and with a negative Pipelle the next step is hysteroscopy as Rafael has said.

Ultrasound showed an 8mm endometrium before the EMB in the first place.

Would there be any benefit of repeating the EMB just a month after the first, given the lack of a good diagnosis. If I get tissue again, it would have to be D&C wouldn't you agree?

A pipelle sampling is a benign procedure, and so is an ultrasonically generated measurement of endometrial thickness.

That's why I've asked my esteemed colleagues. I have read about hyperplasia and atypical hyperplasia but not atypical without hyperplasia.

She really doesn't want another tissue sampling if at all possible.

I don't want to put her in for a) more risk and b) a worse prognosis if she does have an undiagnosed cancer.

For me this is an unusual reading in that the term "atypical" is used but not hyperplasia. I am uncomfortable with this and would get more tissue. Joe C
