چکیده
The normal endometrium changes after implantation of an embryo. Decidua is the term for the endometrium during a pregnancy, which is formed under the influence of progesterone as the maternal part of the placenta. It has a histologically distinct appearance, displaying large polygonal decidual cells in the stroma. These are enlarged endometrial stromal cells, which resemble epithelium. Interaction of decidua and trophoblasts causes many physiologic and pathopysiologic changes in the uterine cavity. Imaging of decidua and trophoblastic tissues by ultrasound is an important aspect of diagnostic workout in obstetrics and gynecology.
