Histological characteristics of the myometrium in the postpartum hemorrhage of unknown etiology: a possible involvement of local immune reactions

Highlights • We provide the pathological features of the myometrium in postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) of unknown etiology. • Massive infiltration of inflammatory and immune cells is significant in myometrium of PPH. • Postpartum acute myometritis (PAM) could be a pathological concept of PPH of unknown...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • We provide the pathological features of the myometrium in postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) of unknown etiology. • Massive infiltration of inflammatory and immune cells is significant in myometrium of PPH. • Postpartum acute myometritis (PAM) could be a pathological concept of PPH of unknown etiology. • Fetal components are a major candidate for the causes of PAM.
