Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between benign gynecologic diseases and hormone-dependent malignancies such as endometrial carcinoma in postmenopausal women. DESIGN: We retrospectively analyzed the prevalence of myoma uteri and adenomyosis uteri in 136 cases of endometrial carcinomas. We used 222 uterine prolapse cases as controls. RESULTS: The results showed that 21.6% and 9.9% of healthy postmenopausal women (control) had myoma uteri and adenomyosis uteri, respectively, after the cessation of menses. However, postmenopausal women with endometrial carcinomas had a 1.5- to 2-fold higher prevalence, respectively, for myoma uteri and adenomyosis uteri as compared with the postmenopausal control women. CONCLUSION: There was a higher prevalence of myoma uteri and adenomyosis uteri in postmenopausal patients with endometrial carcinomas than in the control population.
