<b><i>Objective: </i></b>To determine the prevalence of premalignant or malignant (atypical hyperplasia or endometrial cancer) disease that develops in polyps or coexist it and the relationship between the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients and malignanc...

<b><i>Objective: </i></b>To determine the prevalence of premalignant or malignant (atypical hyperplasia or endometrial cancer) disease that develops in polyps or coexist it and the relationship between the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients and malignancy by examining the pathology results of patients who underwent hysteroscopy for a preliminary diagnosis of endometrial polyp.<br />
<b><i>Patients and Methods: </i></b>We retrospectively evaluated 527 patients whose preliminary diagnoses made by transvaginal ultrasonographic findings or with clinical suspicion and tissue samples taken by hysteroscopy between June 2012 and June 2017.

<b><i>Results: </i></b>We detected endometrial polyp in 405 (76.8%) patients, polyp and endometrial hyperplasia without atypia in 51 (9.6%) patients, other benign conditions in 60 (11.3%) patients (leiomyoma uteri, proliferative/secretory/atrophic endometrium), polyp and atypical endometrial hyperplasia in 4 (0.8%) patients and endometrium adenocarcinoma in 7 (1.3%) patients.
