Hello and welcome to HCM,
Endometrial thickening of 19.1 mm is abnormal for any phase of menstruation.
Presence of endometrial cells on pap smear in female above 42 years of age is also abnormal.
A polyp can be present in the uterus, however, a possibility of endometrial cancer cannot be ruled out.
The current biopsy may be reviewed by another pathologist and a biopsy may be repeated to look for any evidence of malignancy.
If the biopsy turns to be positive for malignancy, surgical removal of uterus is indicated.

Thanks and take care
