OBJECTIVE: To review the clinical course and correlate histopathologic findings of obstetrics and gynecology @entity1 with @entity39 STUDY DESIGN: Seven-teen @entity1 with postpartum or @entity39 were identified from 1981 to 1996. Medical records were retrospectively reviewed. Information was available for all @entity1 until @entity204 or discharge from the hospital. Histopathologic material on 15 @entity1 was available for review. RESULTS: Five postpartum @entity1 were diagnosed and surgically debrided one to nine days after cesarean delivery, with no mortality. Twelve @entity1 with @entity39 were diagnosed and surgically debrided <1-10 days after presentation to a physician, with three @entity204 (25%). On histopathologic review, all cases had prominent lobular and @entity9009 . Thirteen cases had histologic evidence of @entity9156 . CONCLUSION: Early diagnosis and @entity146 surgical debridement in @entity1 with postpartum and @entity39 may improve the outcome. Histopathologic findings are remarkably consistent and may help to confirm the diagnosis.
