Structured reassessment of the retrieved samples by a single pathologist specialized in gynecology did not change the conclusion in 35 of the 36 samples. The remaining sample contained a large amount of endometrial tissue and the diagnosis at reassessment was endometrial hyperplasia without atypia. All other samples contained insufficient material for a reliable diagnosis.<jats:italic>Conclusion.<\/jats:italic>A structured reassessment of endometrial biopsies samples, which were classified as inconclusive due to insufficient material, did not change the conclusion. Although it might be helpful for pathologists to have diagnostic criteria for adequacy and\/or inadequacy of an endometrial biopsy sample, the gain in efficiency is likely to be small.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2016\/3039261","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,13]],"date-time":"2016-03-13T17:00:42Z","timestamp":1457888442000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A Structured Assessment to Decrease the Amount of Inconclusive Endometrial Biopsies in Women with Postmenopausal Bleeding"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2016","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5355-4141","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"M.
