Summary

Introduction

Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) is the most common complaint of premenopausal and postmenopausal (PMB) women. More than 40% of affected women with AUB have been reported to have intrauterine pathologies [5]. The most common causes of AUB in women are endometrial polyps, submucosal fibroids, and endometrial hyperplasia [6]. The reported incidence of endometrial carcinoma is 5%17%; a thorough investigation of women with AUB is warranted [2,3,4,7,8]. Endometrial Office Biopsy (EOB) is one of the initial investigations for women with AUB who are over the age of 40 years [1,3,4,9]. Most pathological lesions are found to be benign and are most often missed with blind sampling techniques [3,7,10,11,12]
