Endometrial hyperplasia is a non-cancerous (benign) condition in which the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) becomes abnormally thickened due to excessive growth of endometrial glands compared to normal supporting tissue (stroma). It has been observed that certain factors significantly increase the likelihood of developing endometrial hyperplasia or malignancy, most notably an endometrial thickness greater than 5mm.However, despite the presence of radiological indicators, these findings alone are not conclusive, and histopathology confirmation through endometrial biopsy remains essential for establishing an accurate diagnosis. Following the diagnosis by endometrial biopsy, appropriate management is required to prevent the progression from hyperplasia to malignancy. This study demonstrated various approaches to treatment, including surgical intervention with close surveillance.
