Endometrial calcifications could be detected in a variety of benign and malignant lesions.

Özet
Endometrial kalsifikasyonlar benign ve malign lezyonlarda saptanabilmektedir. Ancak çeşitli organlarda farklı patolojik olaylara eşlik eden, histolojik ve sitolojik materyallerde saptanabilen, kalsiyum içermekle birlikte farklı kimyasal özelliklere sahip Liesegang halkaları olarak tanımlanan konsantrik lamellöz yapılar endometriumda oldukça az görülmekte ve tanı sorunlarına yol açabilmektedir. Postmenopozal kanama nedeniyle uzun süre hormon kullanan 76 yaşındaki bir hastanın endometriumunda saptadığımız hormonal değişiklikler yanısıra nadir görülen Liesegang halkaları literatür eşliğinde değerlendirilerek sunuldu.
Anahtar sözcükler: Endometrium, Liesegang halkaları
Abstract
Endometrial calcifications could be detected in a variety of benign and malignant lesions. However, Liesegang rings are defined as concentric laminated structures seen in different pathological events in various organs in the body, and can also be detectable in histological and cytological materials, include calcium with different chemical properties, and they are quite a few in the endometrium and may lead to diagnostic problems. Liesegang rings, which are quite rare in the endometrium, besides the hormonal changes of a 76-year-old postmenopausal patient using hormone for a long time due to her bleeding was presented and reviewed the literature.
