title: [Hysteroscopic semeiotics of cancer of the uterine body].
abstract: Hysteroscopic features of preinvasive and invasive uterine cancer as well as the adjacent endometrium were studied in 103 patients. The following types of early cancer were identified with regard to pattern of growth: a single lesion, multiple lesions and diffuse involvement of the endometrium. On the basis of hysteroscopic signs, tumors were classified into polypoid, plaque-shaped, cystic mucin-producing forms and tumors with predominant atypical vasculature. Clinically apparent endometrial tumors were hysteroscopically classified as circumscribed and diffuse. The former were further subdivided into nodular, polypoid, papillary and cystic mucin-producing patterns. The credibility of hysteroscopic diagnosis was 81.8% for preinvasive and 100%--for invasive uterine carcinoma. Hysteroscopy proved instrumental in uterine cancer diagnosis, particularly, for the preinvasive form since it allows aiming sampling for histological examination to be carried out.
