RESUMEN
The Authors report their diagnostic experience of 263 patients with abnormal uterine bleeding in peri- and post-menopause. They used a diagnostic procedure which favored the hysteroscopy in first level research: hysteroscopy proved to be a reliable and easily applicable method. In fact it has demonstrated the high incidence of functional pathology (135 cases) and has permitted the histological control of the 3 high risk hyperplasia and of the 15 adenocarcinomatas found in their patients.

The communication of a case of peripheric neurofibromatosis of Von Recklinghausen with malignant degeneration helps us to underline the importance of the follow-up as the best system to prevent these negative cases and to allow a best and longer survival of these patients with a high cancerogenic predisposition.

The authors examine the problem of the differential diagnosis of spontaneous hematoma of the abdominal rectus muscles versus "surgical" or "non-surgical" acute abdomen and other conditions. The clinical characteristics and investigative methods used are reviewed with a view to avoiding diagnostic errors. In addition, the authors discuss 6 clinical cases which they have observed personally.
