Abstract
Female patient, 87 years old, had been experiencing menopausal for 30 years and had no abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge after menopause. The patient found a small amount of bright red blood on her underwear without obvious inducement, and she touched a mass at the vaginal orifice. Ultrasound examination showed that the endometrium was 15 mm, with obvious thickening and reticular pattern in the uterus and cervical canal and solid space-occupying lesion in the left adnexa area, 52 mm × 47 mm × 49 mm in size. Further examination was recommended. The outpatient clinic admitted her for “postmenopausal vaginal bleeding, endometrial thickening, anterior and posterior vaginal wall prolapse, and left adnexal mass.” She underwent transabdominal total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Postoperative pathological result: endometrial atypical hyperplasia, left ovarian thecoma.
