PATIENTS AND METHODS Data from 189 women diagnosed with AEH and had MRI scan prior to operation, over nine years, were retrospectively collected. RESULTS Histology showed EC in 51 (27%) cases. Presence of myometrial invasion on MRI was more commonly detected in patients with EC compared to those with benign pathology (37.3% versus 10.9%, p
