  1. F: One-way ANOVA test. P1: the difference between normal and benign lesions (P1 < 0.001* as regards endometrial thickness). P2: the difference between normal and malignant lesions (P2 < 0.001* as regards endometrial thickness). P3: the difference between benign and malignant lesions (P3 = 0.18 as regard endometrial thickness). All parameters described as mean ± SD
