Özet

Objective: Hysterectomy is a commonly performed gynaecological procedure worldwide. Although most hysterectomies are performed for benign indications, the possibility of an unexpected malignancy in the final pathology results should be considered. The aim of our study was to investigate the evaluation and management of patients who underwent hysterectomy for benign reasons but were diagnosed with a malignancy in the final pathology results.
