“…Endometrial polyps are common in the pre- and postmenopausal women; however, they usually do not cause obstruction of the whole endometrial cavity nor its lack of distention. This latter aspect is of great importance because malignancies are a cause of obstruction and lack of distention of the endometrial cavity during imaging studies such as SIS and HSG [1,2,4].…”

“…This method is also not capable of determining if the filling defect originates from the endometrium or myometrium. Therefore, other modalities such as MRI are a good option to assess the extension of these types of lesions, as well as both ovaries and the pelvic cavity [2,4-6].…”

“…The risk of malignant transformation of these lesions is estimated between 2-3% [1]. Diagnostic methods such as saline infusion sonography (SIS) and magnetic resonance (MRI) are some examples of imaging studies offered to patients with abnormal vaginal bleeding [4]. In this article, we report an unusual presentation of an endometrial polyp that obstructed the endometrial cavity in a woman of childbearing age with recurrent miscarriages.…”

Endometrial polyps are a common cause of abnormal vaginal bleeding and infertility, which can be identified with different imaging methods. A lack of distention of the endometrial cavity is not a common presentation of endometrial polyps and is associated with endometrial carcinoma. In this article, we present a case of a 30-year-old patient with previous history of infertility and abnormal vaginal bleeding. During a hysterosalpingography (HSG), we were not able to distend the endometrial cavity. Therefore, we performed a transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and a pelvic magnetic resonance study, which showed an obstructive endometrial polyp adjacent to the internal cervical os. This structure was successfully removed through hysteroscopy by the gynecology department.

The staging of endometrial cancer is based on the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system according to the examination of surgical specimens, and has revised in 2023, 14 years after its last revision in 2009. Molecular and histological classification has incorporated to new FIGO system reflecting the biological behavior and prognosis of endometrial cancer. Nonetheless, the basic role of imaging modalities including ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography, as a preoperative assessment of the tumor extension and also the evaluation points in CT and MRI imaging are not changed, other than several point of local tumor extension. In the field of radiology, it has also undergone remarkable advancement through the rapid progress of computational technology. The application of deep learning reconstruction techniques contributes the benefits of shorter acquisition time or higher quality. Radiomics, which extract various quantitative features from the images, is also expected to have the potential for the quantitative prediction of risk factors such as histological types and lymphovascular space invasion, which is newly included in the new FIGO system. This article reviews the preoperative imaging diagnosis in new FIGO system and recent advances in imaging analysis and their clinical contributions in endometrial cancer.Evidence Level4Technical EfficacyStage 3
