About this test

This is the histopathology examination of a uterus removed at surgery (hysterectomy) together with the cervix, both ovaries and fallopian tubes. The pathologist examines all parts under the microscope to confirm the diagnosis.

Why is this test done?

  • Confirm the cause of symptoms after hysterectomy
  • Look for cancer or pre-cancer
  • Check fibroids, endometriosis or ovarian cysts

Symptoms — when should you get tested?

  • Irregular or missed periods
  • Difficulty getting pregnant
  • Acne or excess hair growth
  • Mood swings or hot flushes
  • Unexpected weight change

Normal range

Normal values for Biopsy (Uterus with cervix and bilateral adnexa) depend on your age, sex and the testing method. Your report shows the reference range used by our lab next to your result, and our pathologist marks anything outside it.

Reference ranges differ slightly between labs, methods, age and sex. Always discuss your report with your doctor.
