Abstract: Objective:To evaluate the coincidence and correlation between hysteroscopy and histopathological diagnosis of endometrial tuberculosis. Methods:A retrospective analysis of hysteroscopy data and histopathological result of 99 infertile women with a history of tuberculosis from July 2012 to August 2016 in the Hysteroscopy Center of Fuxing Hospital was performed. Results:In 99 women hysteroscopy was performed and histopathological examination was taken at the same time, the coincidence rate between them was 46.7%. 7 cases of endometrial tuberculosis were identified by both hysteroscopy and histopathology, one case of proliferative endometrium was considered as endometrial tuberculosis by hysteroscopy but disproved by histopathology, and 8 other cases of endometrial tuberculosis were confirmed by histopathology but not identified by hysteroscopy. However, 68 women with different degree of intrauterine adhesions were detected. Conclusions:The endometrial tuberculosis identified by hysteroscopy must be confirmed by histopathological diagnosis. Hysteroscopy helps to find intrauterine adhesions.
