Utility of a standardized protocol for submitting clinically suspected endometrial polyps to the pathology laboratory.

Abstract:

:The purpose of the study is to assess whether a protocol for submitting clinically suspected endometrial polyps will improve the detection rate of polyps and evaluation of the background endometrium. A retrospective review from 1999 to 2015 was performed. Cases were divided into (1) polyps and curettings placed in 2 containers (separate, n=61) and (2) polyps and curettings placed in 1 container (combined, n=80). Polyps were identified in 100% of cases in the separate compared with 95% in the combined group (P=.62). The background endometrium was evaluable in 79% of cases in the combined compared to 90% in the separate group (P=.07). The frequency of hyperplasia without atypia, atypical hyperplasia, and carcinoma was 4.4%, 3.6%, and 1.5%, respectively. In conclusion, the enhanced rate of polyp detection and evaluation of the background endometrium in the separate group is minimal. This supports the recommendation of submitting endometrial polyps and curettings combined in 1 container.
