Hysterectomy Biopsy - XL
- Why is it done?
- Histopathological examination of uterine tissue obtained during hysterectomy to identify benign and malignant conditions
- Diagnosis of endometrial cancer, uterine sarcoma, and other malignancies affecting the uterus
- Evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding, chronic pelvic pain, or abnormal imaging findings
- Assessment of uterine fibroids (leiomyomas), adenomyosis, and endometrial polyps
- Performed following surgical removal of the uterus for various gynecologic indications
- Determining tumor grade, stage, and extent of invasion in cancer cases
- Normal Range
- Normal findings include benign endometrial tissue with appropriate glandular and stromal components consistent with the patient's age and menopausal status
- Absence of malignancy: Reported as 'No evidence of malignancy' or 'Benign' pathology
- Benign smooth muscle: Normal myometrium composed of smooth muscle fibers organized in interlacing bundles
- Atrophic or secretory endometrium depending on hormonal status
- Result interpretation: Results are reported qualitatively as presence or absence of pathologic findings rather than numeric values
- Report format includes detailed description of tissue composition, cellular characteristics, and any notable findings
- Interpretation
- Malignant Findings: Presence of adenocarcinoma (endometrioid, serous, clear cell, or mixed types); diagnosis of uterine sarcoma; presence of metastatic disease; indicates need for staging studies and oncologic management
- Hyperplastic Changes: Simple or complex hyperplasia with or without atypia; indicates increased risk of progression to malignancy
- Inflammatory Conditions: Endometritis, chronic inflammation, or evidence of infection; may explain abnormal bleeding symptoms
- Benign Conditions: Leiomyomas (fibroids), adenomyosis, polyps, or cysts; benign but may contribute to symptoms
- Tumor Grading and Staging: Grade 1-3 assessment; depth of myometrial invasion documented; lymphovascular invasion noted; determines treatment decisions and prognosis
- Special Stains and Immunohistochemistry: Additional testing for tumor characterization, hormone receptor status, and mismatch repair protein assessment
- Factors Affecting Results: Menstrual cycle phase; hormonal therapy; previous radiation; specimen fixation and preparation; tumor heterogeneity
- Associated Organs
- Primary Organ: Uterus (including endometrium, myometrium, and serosa)
- Endometrial Cancer: Most common gynecologic malignancy; risks include obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and estrogen exposure
- Uterine Sarcoma: Malignant smooth muscle or stromal tumors; more aggressive than carcinomas; require different treatment approach
- Adenomyosis: Benign condition causing abnormal uterine bleeding and pelvic pain
- Leiomyomas (Fibroids): Benign smooth muscle tumors; common indication for hysterectomy
- Endometrial Polyps: Benign growths; small risk of malignant transformation
- Complications of Malignancy: Metastatic spread to ovaries, fallopian tubes, peritoneum, and distant organs; vaginal bleeding and infection; uterine perforation
- Follow-up Tests
- If Malignancy Detected:
- Staging imaging (CT chest/abdomen/pelvis or MRI); CA-125 tumor marker level; pelvic lymph node assessment; molecular testing for MMR status and microsatellite instability
- For Endometrial Hyperplasia:
- Hormone level assessment (estrogen, progesterone); repeat endometrial biopsy if atypia present; metabolic screening (glucose, lipids); gynecologic follow-up every 6-12 months
- For Inflammatory Findings:
- Infection workup (cultures, PCR); CBC with differential; inflammatory markers (ESR, CRP); consideration of antimicrobial therapy
- Complementary Testing:
- Pap smear for cervical screening; HPV testing if indicated; pelvic ultrasound for residual pathology assessment; serum tumor markers monitoring in cancer cases
- Monitoring and Surveillance:
- Post-operative follow-up at 2-4 weeks; oncology referral for cancer cases; adjuvant therapy planning (radiation, chemotherapy); regular gynecologic assessment for recurrence monitoring
- Fasting Required?
- Fasting: No
- This is a surgical pathology test performed on tissue obtained during hysterectomy procedure; fasting requirements depend on the surgical procedure itself, not the biopsy
- Pre-Operative Requirements:
- NPO (nothing by mouth) from midnight before surgery; follow anesthesia-specific fasting guidelines (typically 6-8 hours for food, 2 hours for clear liquids)
- Medication Instructions:
- Continue routine medications as directed by surgeon; may hold anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents per surgical protocol; discuss all medications with surgical team
- Special Preparation:
- Bowel preparation if indicated; vaginal cleansing as directed; remove all jewelry, makeup, and nail polish; arrange transportation; sign informed consent; complete pre-operative assessment and lab work
