The thin red line – postmenopausal abnormal uterine bleeding with endometrial thickness less than 4 mm

Abstract

Postmenopausal women with AUB and endometrial echo ≤ 4 mm are less likely to have a malignant condition. However, the role of histological evaluation cannot be undermined, especially in women at high risk of endometrial cancer, and routine endometrial biopsy should be considered. We recommend a change in the cut-off to 2 mm in routine practice.
