Early Endometrial Cancer in a Postmenopausal Woman: A Case Report

Lisa J. Pearson, RDMS, RVT

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy. The traditional sonographic screening technique has been the measurement of the endometrial thickness. There is disagreement, however, as to what constitutes a normal sonographic measurement of the endometrium in postmenopausal women. This case study demonstrates the importance of examining the entirety of the endometrium and surrounding myometrium using sensitive transvaginal color/power Doppler. Color and/or power Doppler in conjunction with the transvaginal examination will increase the sensitivity of diagnosing endometrial pathology.

Key Words: endometrioid adenocarcinoma • endometrial abnormalities • endometrial thickness • color and power Doppler • transvaginal sonography
