Endometrial Hyperplasia
- The main cause of increased number of cells in endometrial hyperplasia is prolonged exposure to estrogen.
Adenocarcinoma vs. Severe/Atypical Hyperplasia
- Features present in adenocarcinoma but absent in severe/atypical hyperplasia include stromal invasion and cellular atypia.
Benign Tumors in Females
- The most common benign tumor in females during active reproductive life is leiomyoma or fibroma (benign tumor of myometrium).
Endometriosis vs. Adenomyosis
- The main difference between endometriosis and adenomyosis is that endometriosis occurs outside the uterus, while adenomyosis occurs within the uterine wall.
Growth of Leiomyoma
- Estrogen stimulates the growth of leiomyoma or fibroma (benign tumor of myometrium).
Pathogenesis of Ovarian Endometriosis
- The implants theory of pathogenesis explains the occurrence of ovarian endometriosis, where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus.
Menstrual Bleeding in Ovaries
- The occurrence of menstrual bleeding in the ovaries due to endometriosis is considered problematic because it can lead to inflammation, scarring, and adhesions.
