title: [Correlations between the ultrasound aspects of endometrial hyperplasias and the pathological exam].
abstract: The endometrium has a few possibilities to express the underlying pathology, even if there may be a potential dangerous one. This study is searching for a relationship between the ultrasound images of endometrial hyperplasias and the respective pathologic exams.
  
  
  METHODS
  We analyzed 385 cases of endometrial hyperplasias hospitalized in the "Elena Doamna" Maternity from Iaşi, Romania during the period 2000-2005.
  
  
  RESULTS
  For all the cases included, the endometrium had a width from 2 mm to 20 mm, with a median of 9mm. The hyperplasias were: 70.18% simple hyperplasias without atypia, 18.52% complex hyperplasias without atypia, 7.1% complex hyperplasias with atypia and 4.17% secretory hyperplasias. There were no differences between the aspects or thickness of the endometrium in regard with any of the types of hyperplasias.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Ultrasounds exams have a limited role to diagnose endometrial hyperplasias. They only selects patients for mandatory other investigations. Key words:
