	Endometrium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The endometrium is the inner membrane of the mammalian uterus.
		In both cases, the endometrium initially proliferates under the influence of oestrogen.
		Adenomyosis is the growth of the endometrium into the muscle layer of the uterus (the myometrium).

	Role and functional anatomy of the endometrium

		Expulsion of the functional layer of the endometrium (spongiosa and compacta) mixed with blood, endometrial debris and lymphocytes.
		The endometrium is now mature; the glycogen migrates from the basal to the apical pole, whereby the nuclei of the epithelial cells are shifted to the basal pole.

		The endometrium is the uterine membrane in mammals which is thickened in preparation for the implantation, of a fertilized egg upon its arrival into the uterus.
		The process of shedding the endometrium is referred to as menstruation, or menses.

	Endometrium Summary
		The endometrium is the lining of the uterine corpus and its thickness and structure vary with the stages of the menstrual cycle.
		The endometrium is the inner membrane in the uterus of mammals, which is developed in preparation for the implantation of a fertilized egg upon its arrival into the uterus.
		Growth of the endometrium into the muscle layer of the uterus, myometrium, is called adenomyosis, and growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus is a pathological condition known as endometriosis.

		Carcinoma of the endometrium is primarily a disease of menopausal and postmenopausal women.
		Adenocarcinoma [carcinoma derived from glandular tissue] is the commonest malignant lesion of the endometrium.
		As invasion of the tumour extends to the inner half of the myometrium [the thick muscle layer underneath the endometrium], survival falls to 70%, and with cancer spread outside the uterus, survival is less than 15%.

	Endometrial Biopsy
		When a woman is having difficulty becoming pregnant, an endometrial biopsy may be done to determine whether the lining of her uterus is being properly prepared by hormones (estrogen and progesterone) to support pregnancy.
		For menstruating women, the lining of the uterus (endometrium) is at the stage expected for the time in the menstrual cycle when the biopsy was done (this is called an "in-phase" endometrium).
		For menstruating women, the lining of the uterus (endometrium) is not at the stage expected for the time in the menstrual cycle when the biopsy was done (this is called an “out-of-phase” endometrium).

		Background: Carcinoma of the endometrium is among the most common female pelvic malignancies and may develop in normal, atrophic, or hyperplastic endometrium.
		Spread of the disease occurs initially within the endometrium and/or myometrium, as well as from the fundus towards the isthmic portion of the uterus and the cervix.
		The rate of extrauterine tumor spread and lymph node metastasis increases with the depth of myometrial invasion, the degree of endocervical extension, and the presence of poor prognostic histologic factors.

	What is an overgrown endometrium? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		During a normal menstrual cycle oestrogen hormones are released at the beginning that cause the lining of the womb, the endometrium, to thicken in order to prepare the uterus for the possibility of implantation of an embryo, and this is known as the proliferative or follicular phase.
		This allows a fertilized egg to implant into the endometrium and is known as the secretary or luteal phase of the cycle.
		An overgrown endometrium, otherwise known as hyperplasia, can occur if there is an imbalance of these two hormones favouring an excessive proliferative phase of the cycle.

		Pathophysiology: The pathophysiologic hallmark of endometriosis is peritoneal implants of ectopic endometrium.
		The endometrium of patients with endometriosis showed a shift to a more moderate expression, in the same distribution pattern along the complete lateral membrane (Figures 4b, 5a).
		Researchers are trying to determine whether it is because the hormones released by the body during pregnancy also lessen the growth of endometriosis, or if pregnancy causes changes in the uterus or endometrium that lessen the growth of endometriosis.

		At the top of page 19 you quote, as evidence of the importance of endometrial thickness, a study showing that it's a good indication of pregnancy, that thicknesses less than 7mm never were sustaining pregnancies.
		The thickness of the endometrium is not constant throughout the uterus; even in a non-pill user it may be 6mm in one area, and 10 or 15mm in an adjoining area.
		What is relevant is that the pill produces an overall thinning effect that decidualizes the endometrium to the extent that normative values are not present in most or all of the lining.

		Immediate postcontrast dynamic CT scans of the uterus often show central hypo-attenuation that may be related to secretions in the cavity or a lag in contrast enhancement of the endometrium compared to myometrium; however, the endometrium is not visualized distinctly as separate from the myometrium, and accurate measurement of its thickness is not feasible.
		MRI depicts the endometrium as a central zone of high signal intensity on T2-weighted images while the myometrium is depicted at its inner aspect as a zone of low signal intensity (junctional zone) and at its outer aspect as a wider zone of intermediate signal intensity.
		The endometrium may be thickened focally or diffusely, demonstrated as irregular in thickness and configuration, or widened by polypoid tumor (see Images 17-20).

		The wall of the uterus is composed of three layers, the innermost of which is the mucus membrane known as the endometrium.
		Uterine glands, blood vessels, and lymphatic spaces are interspersed throughout the endometrium, which physically differs both at various points in the periodic reproductive cycle and at different stages of a mammal's reproductive life.
		For instance, the endometrium matures at puberty, but cyclically thickens in preparation for fertilization.

		The endometrium is the lining of the uterus that periodically thickens and sheds during a woman’s reproductive years.
		When endometrial cancer is suspected, a biopsy or a procedure known as dilation and curettage, in which tissue is scraped from inside the uterus, is generally carried out in order to ascertain whether abnormal cells are present.
		In some instances, the removal of the cervix and uterus through a simple hysterectomy is considered sufficient, but in others a radical hysterectomy, which entails significantly more extensive tissue removal, may be required.
