Had A Hysterectomy For A Prolapsed Uterus. Had D&C, Biopsies. Suggested To Have Complex Hyperplasia With Atypia. Recommendations?
This week I had a hysterectomy for a prolapsed uterus. I have had simple hyperplasia without atypia a few times over the years. I had a D&C about a year ago and a couple of biopsies in the office since. I was surprised when my surgeon called me this afternoon to say that I had missed a bullet because I had complex hyperplasia with atypia when they did the pathology on my uterus/cervix. I was a little shocked and did not think to ask....."Does this mean I don't have any reason to be concerned about cancer now since the hysterectomy?" P.S. They did not remove the ovaries.

Hello user,
Surely you are lucky !!!
As that the pathology report is related to cancer, but now you need not have to worry as it was just localised and its been out of the body.Obviously you will never get any type of uterine cancer, but your ovaries are still inside.
I think the reason for non removal of ovaries is due to fact that you are in your 30's or 40's or your menstrual cyscle was not stopped while you were operated.
You are still prone for ovarian malignancies,and its incidence will be like a normal woman of your age.
hope my info helped you
