Abstract

PURPOSE: To describe various hysterosalpingographic (HSG) findings of intrauterine lesions, and to determinethe correlation of these with their hysteroscopic findings.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This study involved 100patients who during a 23-month period underwent both HSG and hysteroscopic examinations. The HSG findings werecategorized as intrauterine adhesion, endometrial polyp, myoma, or 'other', and were correlated with hysteroscopicfindings and histologic diagnoses.
RESULTS
Diagnoses based on HSG findings were intrauterine adhesions (n=80),endometrial polyps (n=8), myomas (n=10) and 'other' (n=2). The hysteroscopic diagnoses of these patients wereintrauterine adhesions (n=68), endometrial polyps (n=11), myomas (n=4), and 'other' (n=17). HSG and hysteroscopicdiagnoses were consistent 72 patients (72%).
CONCLUSION
Lesions presenting as filling defects on HSG sometimesshow nonspecific or overlapping findings and the normal uterus may produce defects of this kind which mimicklesions.
