Transabdominal ultrasonic scanning was used to examine 48 patients with endometrial carcinoma; 39 of them were later operated on, and 5 of these examined in various periods after surgery. No image of the median uterine echo in women with clinical symptoms of cancer of the body of the uterus or thinning of the median structure may evidence in favor of poorly-differentiated adenocarcinoma. The authors emphasize the usefulness of echography in the diagnosis of the depth of the tumor invasion into the myometrium, detection of the recurrences, and pay special attention to imaging the uterine myoma and other associated diseases of the genitals in these patients.
