Abstract

Lymphocytes in the endometrium were counted during infancy, the reproductive age including pregnancy and the postmenopausal era and in various pathological states (cystic-glandular hyperplasia, adenomatous hyperplasia, endometrial polyposis, endometrium after long-standing ingestion of oral contraceptives, endometrial carcinoma). Compared with the child-bearing era, the lymphocyte concentrations in endometrium were markedly lower during infancy and after the menopause. Lymphocyte concentrations were high in cystic-glandular hyperplasia, endometrial carcinoma and pregnancy, and low in focal adenomatous hyperplasia and endometrial polyposis. Although histological examination of the endometrium after long-standing ingestion of oral contraceptives showed atrophy, the lymphocyte count was high.
