Abstract

Introduction: Endometrial carcinoma can occur due to different causes. It is associated with other diseases like endometrial hyperplasia, obesity, diabetes, early menarche and late menopause. Histological and histochemical procedures, help in diagnosis of different types of endometrial carcinoma. Objectives: To identify predominant histological and histochemical type of endometrial carcinoma from hysterectomy specimens collected from different tertiary care hospitals of Karachi, Pakistan. Methodology: Slides / paraffin blocks of endometrial biopsies of hysterectomy specimens were taken, from 1st January 2008 to 31st December 2012. Results: In present study, total 226 hysterectomy cases were received in which 70 (30.97%) cases of different type of endometrial carcinoma were studied. The maximum 46 (65.71%) cases were of endometroid secretory adenocarcinoma. 16 (22.90%) cases, of Endometroid pappilary carcinoma. 3 (4.30%) cases of ciliated adenocarcinoma and 1 (1.42%) case villoglandular endometrial cancer. Conclusion: Increased tendency of endometroid secretory adenocarcinoma of endometrium as 46 (65.71%) cases out of 70 cases.
