During a 14-year period (1959-1972), 3,600 endometrial suction biopsies were performed in the office for specific indications in selected patients. Three hundred seventy-seven biopsies (10.5%) revealed abnormal findings. Of these, 233 showed endometritis, 96 associated with necrotic decidual or placental tissue, or both; one with tuberculosis, and 136 with no specific causative agent. In 84 biopsies endometrial hyperplasia was present; 34 contained polyps from the cervix or endometrium. Eighteen malignancies were diagnosed, four of which originated in the cervix and the remainder in the endometrium. Used judiciously, the procedure is per,aps the most reliable means of evaluating the uterine cavity short of a formal dilatation and curettage..
在14年期间（1959年至1972年），在办公室针对特定适应症对选定患者进行了3600次子宫内膜吸引活检。377次活检（10.5%）显示有异常发现。其中，233例显示子宫内膜炎，96例与坏死蜕膜或胎盘组织或两者相关；1例患有结核病，136例无特定病原体。84次活检存在子宫内膜增生；34次含有来自宫颈或子宫内膜的息肉。诊断出18例恶性肿瘤，其中4例起源于宫颈，其余起源于子宫内膜。谨慎使用该方法，这可能是除了正式刮宫术之外评估子宫腔最可靠的方法。
