Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the diagnostic values of dilatation and curettage, transvaginal sonography, sonohysterography and hysteroscopy in diagnosing the intracavitary pathologies in women with postmenopausal bleeding. STUDY DESIGN: 30 women diagnosed as postmenopausal bleeding were included into the study. All patients underwent transvaginal sonography and sonohysterography as primary evaluation; hysteroscopy and dilatation and curettage were performed immediately in seven days after primary evaluation. RESULTS: No woman with an endometrial thickness of <= 5mm was diagnosed as having endometrial cancer. In women with an endometrial thickness of <= 5mm, transvaginal sonography showed a sensitivity 100%, specificity 48%, positive predictive value (PPV) 18% and negative predictive value (NPV) 100% in detecting neoplastic changes. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy of sonohysterography for detecting all endometrial pathologies were 100%, 73%, 54%, 100% and 80% respectively. These findings for hysteroscopy were 100%, 78%, 58%, 100% and 83% respectively. CONCLUSION: Transvaginal sonography as the primary tool in diagnosing postmenopausal lesions should be supported with sonohysterography. Patients with focal intracavitary lesion diagnosed on sonohysterography should undergone hysteroscopic evaluation enabling direct visualization and sampling of the endometrial cavity as the gold standard.

Özet

AMAÇ: Postmenopozal vajinal kanamalı kadınlarda intrakaviter patolojilerin tanısında transvajinal sonografi, sonohisterografi, histeroskopi, dilatasyon ve küretajın tanısal değerlerinin araştırılmasıdır. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Postmenopozal kanaması olan 30 hastaya ilk değerlendirmede transvajinal sonografi ve sonohisterografi uygulandı. Bunu takiben 7 gün içinde tüm hastalara ta - nısal histeroskopi ve ardından dilatasyon ve küretaj yapıldı. BULGULAR: TVS ile <=5mm endometrial kalınlığı olan hiçbir hastada endometrium kanserine rastlanmadı. Endometrial kalın lık eşik değeri 5mm alındığında transvajinal sonografinin neoplastik değişiklikleri saptamadaki duyarlılığı %100, spesifitesi %48, pozitif prediktif değeri (PPD) %18, negatif prediktif değeri (NPD) %100 bulundu. Sonohisterografinin tüm endometrial patolojileri saptamadaki duyarlılığı %100, spesifitesi %73, PPD %54, NPD %100 ve doğruluğu %80 bulundu. Bu değerler histeroskopi için sırasıyla %100, %78, %58, %100 ve doğruluk %83 olarak hesaplandı. SONUÇ: Postmenopozal kanamalı olgularda tanıda ilk basamak olan transvajinal sonografi, sonohisterografi ile desteklenmelidir. Sonohisterografide fokal intrakaviter lezyon saptanan olgularda, tanıda kavitenin direkt gözlemlenmesine ve aynı anda biyopsi alınmasına imkan sağlayan histeroskopik değerlendirmenin altın standart olduğunu düşünmekteyiz.
