Significance of finding benign endometrial cells in women 40 & #8211;45 versus 46 years or older on Papanicolaou tests and histologic follow-up

Conclusion: Clinically significant endometrial lesions occurred predominantly in women older than 50 years (4.6%) and in only one woman between ages 46 and 50 years (1.5%). Therefore, endometrial sampling should be performed in women aged 47 years and older with BECs, especially when additional clinical indicators (e.g., postmenopausal bleeding) are recognized.
