What does benign endometrium w/ atrophic changes & features of glandular & stromal breakdown mean? neg for hyphyperplasia, atypia, or malignancy.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pathology 101: An endometrial biopsy is usually done to look for cancer, and the pathologist here saw no signs of cancer (malignancy/atypia) in the sample obtained. The other findings can be seen with or close to menopause (natural or induced by surgery or medications), and can be normal in many situations, but context (why the test was done) is important to be able to interpret this result uniquely for you.
