title: [Comparative study of ultrasonography and pathology of endometrial carcinoma].
abstract: Preoperative sonography was performed in 83 patients with a histologic diagnosis of endometrial cancer. The diagnostic accuracy was 84.3%. Five types of sonographic pattern were described. The sonographic accuracy in distinguishing deep or beyond the uterus invasion from superficial invasion was 92.8%, the specificity was 88.2%, and sensitivity was 100%. Tumor stage was correctly predicted by sonography in 95.2% of the cases.
