| endometrial hyperplasia |
Overgrowth of the endometrium, caused usually by prolonged action of estrogen unopposed by progesterone (ie prolonged anovulation), as is the case in, particularly, the polycystic ovary syndrome. Potentially dangerous, because it can turn to cancer of the endometrium. Can be suspected by an echogenic appearance of the endometrium on transvaginal ultrasound and is confirmed by pathological examination of tissue obtained at curettage.
