Is Irregular Endometrial Mass Along With Thickened Endometrium As Per A USG Report Indicative Of Cancer?

I had a pelvic ultrasound and the majority of the endometrium is thickened and measures less than 2mm however there is an area of irregular mass with a thickness of 2.6mm. Radiologist says possible blood clot or endometrial irregularity. Does this mean I have cancer. I am 72

Hello,

Normal endometrial thickness is 8-11 mm. In your query, you didn't mention about bleeding. Usually bleeding in the postmenopausal age should be screened for malignancy (cancer). Early diagnosis has good prognosis.

Consult gynecologist and go for D & C (dilatation and curettage). Histopathological report says about your endometrial status. If it is normal, then no worry but if it turned out malignant, then you should go for hysterectomy that is removal of uterus.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Siddartha
