Why it matters :
This condition is a major precursor to endometrial cancer, especially in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women:
According to a 2024 review, atypical endometrial hyperplasia can progress to cancer in up to 25–30% of cases, making early intervention is critical
Risk factors include obesity, diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), estrogen-only therapy, and late menopause
It is often asymptomatic, but abnormal uterine bleeding is the most common presenting sign and should always be evaluated
Prompt detection through ultrasound and biopsy allows for effective treatment typically with progestin therapy or surgical management before cancer develops. Inline content unavailable
