title: [Endometrial findings in long-term treatment with synthetic sex steroids in Turner syndrome].
abstract: In 9 patients with Turner's syndrome (karyotype 45/X0) aged from 23 to 50 years (average age 34 years) a curettage was performed. In these women there has been a treatment with mestranol 80 micrograms or ethinylestradiol 50 micrograms and chlormadinome acetate 2 mg as a sequential therapy in a cyclic manner for 5 to 22 years. Additionally in 3 patients a biopsy from the uterine cervix was performed because of abnormal colposcopic findings. Only in one patient an atrophic endometrium was found, whereas in the other patients the endometrium showed a weak proliferation or a slight secretion. Ectasia of the endometrial glands was observed in 4 patients. A hyperplastic endometrium wasn't found in any patient.
