There was endometrial atrophy in 65, simple hyperplasia in 70, chronic endometritis in 32, endometrial polyp in 38 and normal findings in 105 cases. Lesions of myometrium included leiomyoma in 115, adenomyosis in 24 and leiomysarcoma in 32 cases. Cervix lesions were cervical loop in 12, carcinoma cervix in 8 and squamous metaplasia in 17 cases.
