Abstract
Objectives:- The aim of the study was to find out the histomorphological pattern of endometrium in different age groups presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding.

Specimens were fixed in 10% formol saline, routine processing was done and sections were stained with haematoxylin and eosin stain (H&E stain). Results were expressed as percentages and p value was calculated. Results:- The age range of these patients was from 25-75 years with mean age of 43 years. Majority of patients were in the perimenopausal age group.The most common pattern in reproductive age group was secretory phase (51.28%) whereas in perimenopausal females it was proliferative phase (68.04%) and in post menopausal females it was atrophic phase (84.85%). Precancerous lesions such as endometrial polyp and endometrial hyperplasia was dominant in perimenopausal age group.
