Value of endometrial thickness measurement for diagnosing focal intrauterine pathology in women without abnormal uterine bleeding

Abstract

In women without AUB, TVS measurement of endometrial thickness is a poor diagnostic test, but is apparently efficacious in excluding focal intrauterine pathology, especially in postmenopausal women. The 4-5-mm threshold conventionally used to exclude endometrial malignancy in women with postmenopausal bleeding is not transferable to women without AUB for excluding focal intrauterine pathology.
