Endometrial hyperplasia is defined as the pathological condition caused by hyper plastic changes at the level of the glandular and
stromal structures of the endometrium that are part of the lining of the endometrial cavity. Atypical endometrial hyperplasia can
cause an essential problem because it is considered a precursor of endometrial cancer. The early diagnosis of precancerous endometrial
lesions and the exclusion of pre-existing endometrial carcinomas are necessary for patients’ optimal management. The
following is a case of a 50-year-old Guatemalan patient with a three-day history of vaginal bleeding. The transvaginal ultrasound
reports endometrial thickening suggestive of endometrial hyperplasia. The diagnosis was confirmed with histology. The treatment
offered was surgery without indicating any medication.
