Abstract

In our study we estimated the uses of transvaginal ultrasonography in the diagnostic of endometrial carcinoma. There was noted that the most characteristic symptoms of this neoplasma in USG is the thickening of the endometrium and the absence or distortion of "central echo" (imaging of the endometrial cavity). We confirmed the co-existence of common epidemiologic factors of carcinoma endometrium too.
