[The state of the endometrium and myometrium in patients with ovarian tumors and tumor-like growths].

The study was concerned with the condition of the endometrium and myometrium in relation to the histological pattern of ovarian tumor and tumor-like growth and patient's age. Polyps, glandular atypical hyperplasia and endometrial adenocarcinoma were more frequent in cases of ovarian malignancies than in patients with benign tumors and tumor-like growth. On the whole, pathomorphologic alterations in corpus uteri were observed in one-third of patients with ovarian growth (271 out of 913, i.e. 29.6%).
