Summary:Abnormal uterine bleeding is probably the most frequent gynecological issue that leads women to a consult with a subsequent ultrasound. Transvaginal ultrasonographic evaluation represents the most sensitive method of endometrial evaluation, being more adequate than the transabdominal approach, especially when differentiating the benign lesions from the malignant ones. Transvaginal ultrasound is extremely useful in measurement, morphology and vascularization examination of the uterine cavity, especially the endometrium. We present 10 endometrial issues in which transvaginal ultrasound has proven its utility in the paraclinical evaluation of the patient: endometrial cycle phase, endometrial thickness, endomyometrial junction, endometrial vacuum line, cystic endometrium, endometrial vascularization, endometrial polyp, intracavitary development of leiomyomas, thick endometrium and endometrial cancer.
