Background: Endometrial tumors are common pathologies that can have complications that worsen the prognosis for patients.
The objective was to calculate the frequency of endometrial tumors, describe the sociodemographic characteristics of patients with endometrial tumors, describe the factors associated with endometrial tumors, describe their nature and clinical appearance.
Methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive and analytical study covering five years: 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2023. It focused on the records of patients hospitalised during this period at the Deen I Maternity Hospital. Results: Endometrial tumors accounted for 13.1% of gynecological tumors in the department. The average age of the patients was 61 years. Most were married women (90%) and lived in a polygamous relationship (80.9%). The average parity was 5.6. Factors associated with uterine tumors were early menarche (93.9%), menopause (85.7%), hypertension and diabetes. The majority of patients (85.7%) had reached menopause between the ages of 45 and 55. The average age at menopause was 47 years, with extremes of 42 and 60 years. The main symptom was postmenopausal metrorrhagia (93.9%). The diagnostic hypotheses were either suspected endometrial hyperplasia (26.5%) or suspected endometrial neoplasia (73.7%).
Conclusion: Endometrial tumors generally occur during menopause and manifest as postmenopausal metrorrhagia.
