About 10–66% of patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia diagnosed before surgery (preoperative-AEH) are found to have concurrent endometrial cancer (EC) at definitive hysterectomy, leading to incomplete primary surgery and delayed adjuvant treatment. This study aims to investigate the potential risk factors of concurrent EC in preoperative-AEH patients in a clinical setting with a gynecological pathology review. All patients diagnosed with AEH by endometrial biopsy or curettage that then underwent definitive hysterectomy from January 2016 to December 2019 in a tertiary hospital were retrospectively analyzed. All diagnoses were reviewed by gynecological pathologists. A total of 624 preoperative-AEH patients were included, 30.4% of whom had concurrent EC. In multivariate analysis, postmenopausal status and CA125 ≥ 35 U/mL significantly correlated with concurrent EC (OR = 3.57; 95% CI = 1.80–7.06; OR = 2.15; 95% CI = 1.15–4.03). This risk was remarkably increased in patients with both postmenopausal status and CA125 ≥ 35 U/mL (OR = 16.20; 95% CI = 1.73–151.44). Notably, concurrent EC seemed to occur more frequently in women with postmenopausal time ≥ 5 years (OR = 4.04, 95% CI = 1.80–5.85). In addition, CA125 ≥ 35 U/mL seemed to be an independent risk factor (OR = 5.74; 95% CI = 1.80–18.27) for concurrent intermediate-high-risk EC. Intermediate-high-risk EC was also more commonly seen in preoperative-AEH women with postmenopausal time ≥ 5 years (OR = 5.52, 95% CI = 1.21–25.19, p = 0.027). In conclusion, preoperative-AEH patients with postmenopausal status or elevated level of CA125 might have a high risk of concurrent EC. Adequate pre-surgical evaluation might be suggested for such patients.
